  • Question
How often does incoherent proctoring via OnVue occur?

G'day all.

I've been hearing reports of incoherent and unpredictable proctoring by OnVue employees for a few years now. Never to such a degree that I thought it was happening in huge amounts of cases, but one could reason that anything over 0.5% of the exams is already egregious.

The latest thread on Reddit is getting raucous responses -> Login to view embedded media
Proctors are often perceived as overly strict, focusing on making students "fail", giving students contradicting instructions of even (intentionally) giving instructions that would normally break rules.

This matter is something that has a lot of students worried for their exams and they actively blame CompTIA for it, all the more so because CompTIA and PearsonVue will point fingers at each other when the affected student tries to dispute the aborted exam.

I'd love to hear from CompTIA how they handle quality control with PearsonVue.

Linus Tech Tips - That's gotta hurt...

...but it can happen to anyone.

This week, I've been working on buffing up our security at the college - getting users skippy with MFA and Windows Hello. It's been a busy week for me, for sure.

And then one of my techs sends this one to me - hadn't heard of it, but then, that's why CASP+, CySA+, and Security+ bring up topics like CSRF and such - doesn't take much to overcome MFA, even if you know what you're doing.

So, since we're always down for a good conversation (and a deliberate opportunity to poke at @Lee McWhorter to see if he's still watching CIN) - how about we start a conversation about this.

Ever had an issue with a hijacked session token? What did that look like for you?

It wasn't too kind to Linus over at Linus Tech Tips. Poor guy - having to troubleshoot a problem like that...in the buff, even...

  • Question
Free/opensource A+ or A+ like textbooks or materials

All,
I am teaching CYBER JROTC Year 1 curriculum focused on the A+. The curriculum just consists of PPT and no other associated material. Would anyone know of a free or opensource book or that would be easily printable i could get ahold of. I want to provide another form of learning for my cadets without breaking the bank. Thanks.
