Honorlock is an online test proctoring service that allows exams to be taken online without the necessity of coming to the U of A campus or other test-taking location while still maintaining the security of the exam. When a student takes a test, the AI analyzes their webcam feed. If the AI never flags any suspicious behavior, the student proceeds through the test without interacting with a live proctor.
