Of course it would be the same for students!
Why would it be any different. Would not the rights and freedoms impacted by
putting this technology to work on staff devices be the same rights and
freedoms of the students?
I think there is an issue of proportionality and the covert surveillance
nature of the activity strikes me as unethical, regardless of any
legalities. Even if students are informed, what would be the legal basis for
implementing this technology. I can't see it passing a LIA, consent would
not be appropriate.
There is also the issue of who reviews what information and when and what is
done with that information under which circumstances.

Subject: [data-protection] Key Logging
Hi all,
The use of keylogging software on student machines to provide evidence with
issues such as cyberbullying, using proxy sites, inappropriate use of the
Internet is being used only when suspicion arises. However, discussions are
taken place to roll this software out across all college-owned devices
(including employees). The keylogging issue has been raised after a rollout
of a "Run,Hide,Tell." alert on all college-owned devices.
The Working Party stated that logging employees' keystrokes or mouse
movements or capturing screenshots in remote working scenarios is highly
unlikely to be justified based on legitimate interest of the employer and
such monitoring technologies are typically disproportionate. Would this not
be the same for students?
Any views would be appreciated!
