This guide provides a quick overview of Honorlock's key features and links to helpful resources to get you started. 

Key Features of Honorlock:

  • Flexible, Multi-Tiered Proctoring with AI and Live Human Intervention: Honorlock provides a range of proctoring options, from AI-powered analysis that detects suspicious behavior like off-screen activity or unauthorized resource access, to live proctoring with human oversight for real-time intervention when AI flags potential issues. This flexibility allows you to tailor the level of security to each exam's specific needs.  
  • Student Privacy: Honorlock is committed to student privacy and adheres to strict data protection policies. Recordings are only accessed when flagged by the AI or during a live proctoring session.
