Presumably they can't also see the screen of another device...

Sorry, Western Governors University. It's an online school.

When taking a test they have a proctor that's watching you on a webcam, and they make you pan the webcam around the room to ensure that there's no obvious way to cheat, and they make you share your screen to ensure you only have a browser running.
