Honorlock, an authentication and academic integrity platform based in Boca Raton, Florida, USA.”1 Honorlock’s exam proctoring software monitors each student’s exam session and alerts a live, US-based test proctor if it detects any potential problems.”2
We believe that organizations should be free to select the right tool based on their unique needs. The following comparison chart highlights the main differences between our solution and others.
Every organization tells you why what they do makes them better. Below, we tell you what we don't do and why that makes us the better fit for many organizations.
“Students must “go to honorlock.com/install to get the extension, or follow the prompts in your Honorlock-enabled assessment, which will redirect you to the Chrome Web Store after you agree to our terms of service and privacy policy” and if the feature called App Unlock is used, students will also need “to download an application … (in addition to installing a Chrome extension) designed to detect apps on your device.” 3
Users are not required to download or install any extension, plug-in or program. This extensively reduces support requirements and creates the ability for user to launch Integrity Advocate in less than 60 seconds.
“Minimum requirements… Google Chrome (93+)” 4
Integrity Advocate does not require a specific browser (any current browser can be used), unless limited by client setting preferences. This in conjunction with not requiring the installation of an application, plugin or extension, eliminates a vast number of potential support issues.
“Minimum requirements… Windows 10, MacOS 10.14+ and Chrome OS" 4
Integrity Advocate does not require the use of a computer (computers, tablets and even phones can be used), unless limited by client setting preferences. This in conjunction with not requiring a specific browser or the installation of an application, plugin, or extension eliminates a vast number of potential support issues.
“Instructors can “login to (their) Learning Management System … and navigate to the Honorlock LTI found within your course…The exam taker's webcam footage will be displayed at the top left of the session viewer, while the screenshare recording will be positioned at the top right” 5
A US federal judge stated in the judgement that not only are room scans a violation of the 4th amendment but that “room scans have minimal value for preserving test integrity because there are numerous ways students could cheat that they would not catch (Id., PageID #492.)”Integrity Advocate has NEVER utilized room scans for the stated reason they are “theatre”, and simply violate student privacy without the slightest benefit to academic integrity. Integrity Advocate is proud to see that our stance on room scans, GDPR compliance, AI racial bias, and biometrics have all been supported by the courts and regulatory bodies.
