Honorlock is an online test proctoring service that allows exams to be taken online without the necessity of being on campus or at another 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. However, if the AI detects suspicious behavior then a live proctor is assigned to chat with the student about any issues that have arisen.
This article will teach you how to enable Honorlock proctoring in your course.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Only classes that are 100% online can use Honorlock for testing. If you are teaching a class that isn’t 100% online, then we recommend Respondus Lockdown Browser with Monitor.
- Browse to your course in Blackboard.
- Scroll to the exam that you want to enable Honorlock in, and click the three dots (…) next to that exam.

NOTE: Do not add the access code/password field. - Click the toggle next to Turn on proctoring.
