When the COVID-19 crisis forced Broward College to transition nearly 67,000 students online, the institution needed a scalable proctored testing platform that could be set up quickly, integrate with third-party tools, and still adhere to student privacy requirements.
While Broward’s students and faculty initially had questions about how proctoring works and concerns over data privacy, but those hesitations were short-lived, “People are comfortable using Honorlock. When you download the extension, it’s not tapping into anything other than what you do during your screen sharing,” said Daphnee St. Val, Senior Instructional Designer at Broward College.
Quick onboarding and training along with 24/7/365 support helped Broward make the transition and maintain exam integrity during a pretty hectic time for everyone.
St. Val discusses three features that set Honorlock apart from other online proctoring services:
- Live Pop-In, a hybrid proctoring method that combines AI with human supervision that helps reduce false flags and creates a less stressful testing experience for students.
- Search and Destroy™ gives instructors peace of mind that their exam content isn’t leaked on the internet.
- Cell phone detection identifies when students attempt to use other devices, such as phones, smartwatches, or tablets, during proctored assessments.
