Setting Up Honorlock
1) Open the Honorlock page in your course.
If this is your first time using Honorlock in your course(s) and you don't see it on the course navigation list, you can find it by opening your course Settings page, switching to the Navigation tab, and dragging Honorlock from the hidden links group up to the visible links group.
2) Find the quiz and click the Enable button.
After Honorlock gets enabled on a quiz, the Enable button will be replaced with Results and Settings buttons.
3) Select your settings and click Save at the bottom of the page.
The Proctoring Settings section determines which functions Honorlock will require for that quiz. The Student Guidelines doesn't have a direct impact on what happens during the quiz, but certain options such as Open Book Allowed may affect how strict the automated webcam proctoring is since students may need to lean partially out-of-frame to access their open book/notes/scratch paper, for example. Descriptions of every setting can be found on the following Honorlock Knowledgebase entry: Using Honorlock With Canvas.
All these settings can be modified later even after the quiz is published and Honorlock enabled. To disable Honorlock from a quiz, come back to this Settings page and click Disable next to where you find the Save button.
4) View proctoring results by clicking the Results button.
A guide for viewing Honorlock results can be found at this page from their Knowledgebase. Every student's submission gets a "risk" rating based on what Honorlock's automated proctoring system observed during the quiz. Please note that a high rating does not automatically indicate that a student cheated on their quiz, so you should open their session to determine why their submission was flagged. If you determine that a student has conducted academic misconduct, any disciplinary actions are yours to determine and carry out as Honorlock does not affect any student grades.
OTHER THINGS TO KNOW
Students will have to access their Honorlocked quizzes in a slightly different manner if you're using third-party quiz tools. Canvas quizzes can be directly opened from their normal locations within the course (such as from the Assignments page or in a module). Third-party quizzes need to be launched from the Honorlock page in your course. If a student directly opens their third-party quiz rather than launching it from the Honorlock page, they'll get stuck at the password screen because Honorlock needs to be running so it can input the hidden password for them.
Honorlock will export along with the rest of your course content if you ever copy a course into a new course shell, whether it's a live course or a sandbox. You simply need to open the Honorlock page in the new course to verify whether or not you want to copy the proctoring settings from the previous course, and Honorlock should be ready to go after confirming that you want to keep the previous settings.
