Faculty Getting Started with Honorlock

Summary

Honorlock is a leading remote proctoring solution that uses 'Live Pop-in' technology, combining AI (Artificial Intelligence) with live remote proctors. Students can start an exam at any time without the need to schedule time with a proctor. When the student begins their exam, the Honorlock/Blackboard integration will automatically input the exam password (hidden from the student). Honorlock actively monitors the live proctoring session and creates a recording that instructors may review later.

Body

The University of North Dakota signed a contract with Honorlock, a leading remote proctoring solution. After a formal review of proctoring vendors as part of UND Procurement’s Request For Proposal (RFP) process, Honorlock was selected as the top vendor. The RFP review committee included faculty, staff, and students at UND.


The Honorlock platform uses Live Pop-in™ technology, combining AI (Artificial Intelligence) with live remote proctors. Students may start an exam at any time without the need to schedule time with a proctor. When the student begins their exam, the Honorlock/Blackboard integration will automatically input the exam password (which remains hidden from the student). During the exam, Honorlock will monitor and create a recording of the live proctoring session that instructors may review later. If Honorlock’s AI identifies potential exam integrity issues, an Honorlock proctor will check in and monitor the session more closely. If necessary, the proctor will join the session and ask the student to remove all unpermitted resources or stop the prohibited behavior.

A few things to note:

  • Honorlock is available in both Blackboard Ultra and Blackboard Original courses. UND's contract is for an unlimited number of exams.
  • Honorlock uses a Chrome extension that students can install and use within the Google Chrome browser.
