I am a lector at a University and would never force my students to install something that is so privacy invading as Proctorio on student's own computers.
If you absolutely need this type of monitoring it should be done at some sort of testing center on cleanly imaged computers. I could see it being done for something absolutely crucial such as a bar exam.
Proctorio and its ilk should not be used for simple mid-terms or even finals. This monitoring software becomes a huge crutch to lazy administrators and teachers. I should know I am lazy too.
PS While we are on the slippery slope, if Proctorio becomes standard we rapidly head to Snow Crash situation where federal jobs were heavily monitored. Already many freelancer sites use screenrecording software.
