But it’s helpful to know what it will look like for them so you can more affectively answer their questions if they run into trouble. This 2 minute video shows the steps students will follow to get into their Canvas quiz with Honorlock enabled: https://utexas.box.com/shared/static/et6xaajjorxiot47d6gnpezsh7fgu8pg.mp4 At every step, students should simply follow the on-screen instructions. And, if they do run into trouble along the way, they can click the Chat Support link found in the lower right corner of the screen. You can also refer them to the Honorlock Student FAQ: https://honorlock.kb.help/honorlock-student-faq/ Quiz Results After your students have completed a Canvas quiz using Honorlock, their results will be visible to you on the Results page. To get to this page, click the Honorlock link in you Canvas course navigation, select the quiz you wish to view, and click Results. This will take you to a page that looks something like this: Obviously, your students will not all have the exact same name 🙂 Each student will be listed by name and you can search for students by name or sort by a number of criteria at the top of the page. Below that you can filter the results based on the type of flags that Honorlock produced (medium, high, violation). Click here for more information about what these flags mean. When you click View Session for a particular student, this will display that student’s test results like the image below. There, depending on which settings you selected, you can see what the student did during the quiz, including any flags and what action produced each one. Support and Help Options Students AND faculty can access live chat support 24/7 by clicking on the chat button in the lower right corner of the quiz results page or on the Honorlock page found in the left side navigation. You can also click the Need help? Button in the top right corner of the page to start a live chat with Honorlock support. Students and faculty in the School of Nursing can also contact me anytime for support or if they have any questions or concerns about Honorlock.
