Honorlock Getting Started Guide for Faculty

  1. Getting Started Basics
  2. Creating Quizzes from Scratch
  3. Quiz Settings Overview
  4. Student View
  5. Quiz Results
  6. Support and Help Options

 

Getting Started Basics

Both Faculty and students much use Google Chrome as their web browser. If you don’t already have Chrome installed, click here.

Note: the following set up steps will be taken care of prior to the beginning of Fall 2023 classes, however, for future reference, these are the steps required to begin using Honorlock for your Canvas course.

  1. Un-install the Proctorio Chrome extension (if applicable).
  2. Install the Honorlock Chrome extension.
    1. Note: this is not required, but it is a good idea to help avoid potential confusion.
  3. Add the following paragraph to your course syllabus prior to the first class day: https://utexas.box.com/shared/static/5ix78vnbga4913n2p83mrzf9fbxc94ti.docx
  4. Send the following Canvas announcement to your students letting them know to take the practice quiz: https://utexas.box.com/shared/static/07h14smwldgf5dm9uad6qngfzb50jxau.docx
  5. Add a practice quiz to your course and include a link in the above announcement: https://honorlock.kb.help/create-a-practice-exam-in-canvas/

In addition to the above steps, it’s a good idea to review Honorlock’s Knowledgebase article about best practices for remote proctoring: https://honorlock.kb.help/best-practices-for-remote-proctoring/

 

Creating Quizzes from Scratch

The process of creating Canvas quizzes that utilize Honorlock requires two steps.

Step 1: create the quiz in Canvas as you normally would if you were not using Honorlock.

Step 2: click Honorlock in the left side navigation of your course, select the quiz you just created, then click Enable. This takes you to the Quiz Settings page as described in the next section.

After you create your quiz and enable Honorlock, the Canvas quiz edit page will now show you an access code  like so:

Please do not edit this access code or share it with your students.

 

Quiz Settings Overview

This Knowledgebase page gives an overview of all the quiz settings for Honorlock including details about each as well as a short tutorial video.

https://honorlock.kb.help/using-honorlock-with-canvas/

This tutorial video includes a full description of all the general quiz settings, including best practices (skip ahead to 9:32 for quiz settings): https://utexas.hosted.panopto.com/Panopto/Pages/Viewer.aspx?id=b5e8c708-a13b-45c8-83c4-b061012ff2b5

 

Student View

Your students experience using Honorlock will, of course, be quite different from yours. 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.

Remote Proctoring with Honorlock

 

Beginning Fall 2023, the School of Nursing will be using Honorlock for remote proctoring of quizzes and exams in many of our Nursing courses.

Honorlock is not recommended for every class.

Because it does require more work for you AND your students, Honorlock is only recommended for high-stakes exams and/or exams you’re willing to let students take remotely (e.g., from home). Honorlock is also an excellent option for students with certain accommodations from the D&A office.

If you do wish to use Honorlock, the best way to get started is to contact me so we can discuss the best options for you and your class.

The next step is to ensure that the following resources are available within your Canvas course:

  1. Syllabus boilerplate
  2. Beginning of semester announcement
  3. Optional practice quiz

Tips for Use

Before you and your students can begin using Honorlock:

  1. You must use Google Chrome as your web browser.
  2. And, you must have the Honorlock extension installed.
    1. Click here to install the extension.
    2. Note: faculty do not need to install the extension in order to view the  Honorlock results page or update exam settings. However, Honorlock will give you an error message if you don’t have the extension installed. So, in order to prevent future confusion, it’s a good idea to install it anyway.
  1. If you’ve used Proctorio previously, make sure you uninstall the Proctorio extension.
    1. Honorlock will not work if the Proctorio extension is still installed.

Troubleshooting Tips

if students run into trouble during an exam, here’s a list of escalating troubleshooting options to try:

  1. Reinstall the Honorlock extension.
  2. Close Canvas and reopen it and go back into the quiz.
  3. Close and restart Chrome, then return to your course and quiz.
  4. Click the Honorlock icon (lower left corner of Web Browser) for Live Chat help.
  5. Restart the computer.
  6. If all else fails, go to the 3rd floor testing center.

Mac Laptops & Classroom Speakers – known issues

Is your Mac Laptop not connecting to the classroom audio?

 

Have you tried using your Mac laptop in one of our Nursing classrooms and discovered that when you play a video from your desktop, the audio doesn’t play on the classroom speakers?

Well, it turns out this doesn’t happen automatically on Mac laptops. Instead, we have to select the correct device for sound output manually.

But luckily, the steps are super simple (if not entirely intuitive):

Nursing Classrooms and You in Fall 2020

In addition to all the changes we’ve made within the Nursing building to keep each other safe, you’ve likely noticed there have been a lot of small changes in our classrooms. So, as you prepare for the beginning of classes next week, and you plan for your “trial run” later this week, I want to let you know about several things that you can expect will already be in your classrooms[1] or which are coming soon.
