Getting Started with Honorlock for Faculty

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

Note: Honorlock is moving from Room Scan Video to Workspace Scan Photo for increased exam integrity starting September 1, 2026. However, UND will have Room Scan Video as an additional option until December 31, 2026. For more information on these different options, please review Honorlock's support pages on Workspace Scan and Room Scan Video.

UND has not enabled the Honorlock Mobile app and this is not required for students to complete the Workspace Scan Photo.

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 Blackboard Ultra 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.
