Proctoring Services: Honorlock Online Proctoring

Idaho State University uses Honorlock, a trusted online proctoring service integrated directly into Canvas, to maintain academic integrity for online exams while providing a flexible and student-friendly testing experience. The system uses AI-assisted proctoring to flag potential concerns such as additional voices, cell phone use, or unauthorized navigation, while live proctors can intervene in real-time if needed.

Benefits for Faculty:

  • Seamless Canvas integration: Honorlock works with the quizzes and exams in your Canvas course and is easily enabled.
  • Combines live proctors with AI: live proctors will only intervene if potential misconduct is identified.
  • Browser Guard: prevents and flags access to unauthorized websites and applications, and records the students' desktops during the proctored exam.
  • Blocks AI Tools: blocks unauthorized AI browser extensions created to fill in test questions with answers, and also blocks the ability to copy and paste from AI-generated text.
  • Detects speech, cell phones, and other people in the room
  • Search and Destroy: automatically searches the web for your leaked exam content and sends takedown requests on your behalf with the click of a button.
