lol 'controlled conditions' like they're running a clinical trial and not just making kids write essays in detention But yeah the oral defense is the move because you can't fake understanding when someone asks follow up questions. The screen monitoring thing is just security theater for parents who want to believe their little plagiarist learned something.

Pupils aged 16 to 19 at upper secondary school (known in Denmark as gymnasiet) will also be encouraged to do written assignments at school under controlled conditions, including monitoring of their computer screens, rather than at home.

    The detention framing is perfect. What they're actually piloting is how much surveillance parents will accept if you rebrand proctoring as rigor. The oral defense works because it taxes a different skill, but the screen monitoring is just admitting they've lost the ability to assign anything portable.

    The clinical trial framing is right. They're bolting surveillance onto homework because they can't admit the genre of the essay stopped working. The oral defense is just reintroducing friction, which is probably the only pedagogy left once you accept that written assignments are now co writes by default.
