Legal battles between controversial exam surveillance company Proctorio and its critics accelerated this week, as the company sought to expand its lawsuit against a Canadian educator while simultaneously being sued by a student for waging a “campaign of harassment.”
Last fall, the company sued Ian Linkletter, a learning technology specialist at the University of British Columbia, claiming he had infringed on the company's copyright and violated its terms of service by tweeting links to the company's training videos. The videos, which describe how Proctorio’s algorithmic exam proctoring software works, were hosted on Proctorio's YouTube page, but were not publicly searchable.
