In any supervised testing situation it seems unlikely it would work for student to be searching for the right file/text and then reading the information (by staring at the watch). Also, lots of standard testing settings (e.g., the GRE) prohibit such devices. At best a gimmick, it seems. Marie

I haven't seen a post in a while. Anyway, yesterday I learned about the existence of smart watches (available through Amazon!) that appear to be specifically designed to help students cheat during examinations. Here is the webpage for one of the companies that makes these watches, http://www.24kupi.com/. The videos are quite informative. Enjoy.
