A proctor mu oversee the exam. But the proctoring can be done remotely. I quote: «For exam security, Candidates are monitored by a proctor during the exam session via streaming audio, video, and screensharing feeds. The screensharing feed allows proctors to view candidates' desktops (including all monitors). The audio, video and screensharing feeds will be stored for a limited period of time in the event that there is a subsequent need for review.» [...] «System Requirements: Candidates are required to provide their own front-end hardware (laptop or workstation) with Chrome or Chromium browser, reliable internet access, and a webcam and microphone in order to take exams. Candidates do not need to provide their own Linux installation or VM; they will be presented with a VM in their browser window using a terminal emulator.» (http://training.linuxfoundation.org/certification/lfce) It's a very different setup compared to LPI, indeed. > On 21 August 2014 09:32, Alexandru Juncu <[email protected]> wrote: >> Also my first thought when read the news :) >> >> It's interesting that they are doing this.
