Honorlock in Canvas (Instructors)

Honorlock provides on-demand proctoring services that removes access to test content from the Internet, prevents mobile devices from searching test answers online, disables multiple screens, and allows a live agent to help students through the authentication process before starting a quiz. Honorlock has students use a web camera during an online, technology-proctored exam that is taken from home and not in a TWU computer lab. To activate Honorlock in your course, submit a Technology Service Desk email to start a ticket and include the Canvas Course ID.

Honorlock is a Google Chrome extension that must be added to Chrome before students can attempt to complete an online Canvas assessment. Students must use the Google Chrome browser to log into Canvas and take a quiz using Honorlock in your course. Honorlock WILL run on a Chrome Book and WILL NOT run on an iPad.

For any course you are teaching and using Honorlock the Schedule of Classes must be updated by the instructor. In the Section Comment include that students are required to have a web camera, microphone, and Internet connection to participate in the course. If you need assistance with this step, please contact University Scheduling.
