Questions colleges should ask about remote testing (opinion)

Earlier this year, Dartmouth College's medical school charged 17 students with cheating on remote online exams. Three of the students were expelled. The accused protested their innocence, claiming the medical school's remote test administration, or RTA, system had falsely flagged their conduct. With their reputations and careers hanging in the balance, their fate came down to a dispute about the software. Eventually, a technical explanation emerged, showing how students' logged-in cellphones and tablets might have been accessing course notes while the exam was being administered.
