Any recordings made of tests and exams should be promptly deleted once reviewed for academic dishonesty, unless required for evidence. Students must also be given informed notice before or at the time of collection and the opportunity to ask questions. The efficacy of online proctoring may also be considered. Consideration should also be given as to whether the proposed collection will be effective and proportional, i.e., whether the loss of privacy is balanced against the benefit gained and whether there is a less intrusive means of achieving a similar result. To comply with applicable privacy law, employees may only collect student personal information (including video and audio) where necessary. While Zoom may be a reasonable substitute for in-person proctoring, online proctoring impacts student privacy.

With students now sitting tests and exams from home, faculty may wish to use Zoom for online proctoring. Many departments rely on proctoring to help preserve academic integrity.
