The kids are alright.

shows that kids are actually pretty deft at getting around the program's capabilities. In fact, the tech may not be much more than a pricey placebo.by researchers from the University of Twente in the Netherlands back in 2021. It's important to note that their sample size was pretty small — there were just 30 student participants, all college-aged kids working towards bachelor degrees in computer science.

Still, the results were striking. Of those 30 students, six were explicitly asked to cheat, five were asked not to cheat but to act ""The most important findings were that none of the cheating students were flagged by Proctorio, whereas only one was caught out by an independent check by a human agent," reads the study. "The sensitivity of Proctorio, based on this experience, should therefore be put at very close to zero.

Ouch! But on the plus side, the researchers do think that Proctorio does well as a placebo. In other words, even though it may not be effective, the fact that it's there at all seems to deter some kids from trying to cheat in the first place. A feather to your cap, Proctorio.
