Viewing Honorlock Results

After students complete an exam that uses Honorlock, we strongly recommend you view the entire recording for each student to ensure that all course policies have been followed during the exam session. The Honorlock flags are tools to help you focus on moments that may need a closer look, but they are not intended as a replacement for instructional staff personally verifying the results. 

Caution

Exam results and recordings that contain students' Photo IDs are considered Restricted (S4) according to Ohio State’s Institutional Data Policy. S4 data requires the highest level of protection and users accessing the information are required to complete the Institutional Data Policy training through BuckeyeLearn annually. S4 data should not be downloaded or stored on personal devices and should be encrypted if shared with the the Committee on Academic Misconduct (COAM) 

To view the results 

  1. Click the Honorlock link in your course navigation.  
  1. Click on the Results button for the exam you wish to review.

The Exam Session viewer includes the following:

  1. The student’s webcam view will be displayed on the top left. 
     
  2. The student’s screenshare recording will be on the top right.   
     
  3. The controls directly under the student’s webcam recording allow you to do several things with the recording, including navigating through both recordings simultaneously, muting or unmuting the audio, and changing the playback speed of the recording to play at 1x the speed or up to 20x the original speed.  

    UX Tip

    Right click on either the webcam recording or screenshare recording to hide or unhide additional tools for each player. Here you can scrub, or quickly navigate through, each recording separately and expand the recording to full screen, among other things.

    Honorlock Session Reviewer Events

    The section on the bottom right contains a log of the interactions the student had with the exam. This includes any pre-exam checks or authentications, any pop-ins or warnings issued to the student, questions answered during an exam, and any flags given by the AI-proctoring tool during the exam.

    • Each line shows a separate event along with any question associated with that flag, a timestamp of the flag, and a brief description.  
    • Clicking on the event will automatically jump to that moment in the exam.
  5. The section on the bottom left allows you to see an overview of the exam guidelines and any additional instructions so you have that handy as you review the results. This section will also contain different information depending on the student’s actions during the exam. 

    Depending on the student’s activities during the exam you may be able to see tabs that allow you to:  
    • See the question the student was working on at specific times during the exam.  
    • See a multi-device detection occurrence if an external device was detected. 
    • Review audio-transcripts from the student’s environment. 
    • Access chat logs conducted during the exam session between the student and Honorlock support.

Caution

Exam results and recordings that contain students' Photo IDs are considered Restricted (S4) according to Ohio State’s Institutional Data Policy.

Once you’ve opened a student’s results for review, you will see a green check mark on the student’s results on the Exam results page. You can manually change the exam's review status.

Summary Report 

For a summary of the exam-proctoring flags and other exam details, click Summary Report on the top right.  

The summary report shows an overview of the exam information and issues, including the following:

Honorlock Exam Summary
  1. Exam Info including instructor name, course name, course length, and number of students in course
  2. Exam Guidelines that were set on the exam
  3. Critical Sessions 
    • This view is not available for Ohio State users and will always show as zero even if students committed serious academic misconduct;  Critical Sessions require a live-proctoring feature that Ohio State does not currently use
  4. Students w/ High Flags (issues flagged by the AI program)
  5. Students without any perceived issues
  6. A list of students with Critical Sessions and High Flags
    • Here you will see a list of the types of violations and the severity level of each. It also provides information on the student’s device and the location where the exam was taken. 
UX Tip

The Violations level flags are not available for Ohio State users as this requires a live-proctoring option that is not available at Ohio State.  

To return to the exam results, click the Exam Results tab.

Search and Destroy 

Included within the exam results is a Search & Destroy guide. This tool identifies compromised questions, commonly found questions, and unique questions on the web. It provides you with means to manage how you handle the question.  

UX Tip

Currently, Search & Destroy may only be processed once for each exam and initiates once Honorlock is enabled on your exam. If you plan on using this feature, wait until your exam questions are finalized before enabling Honorlock on the exam.

Compromised Items

Show questions that appear on five or fewer Honorlock supported websites. The list of Honorlock-supported websites is not available to the public in order to avoid the list from being used to bypass Honorlock detection. Click the Send Takedown button to Send Takedown requests to these websites. Additionally, you can use the dropdown menu to view specific results and Send Takedown requests to the specific website. You will not receive notifications if the questions are removed from the website. Consider changing these questions for future exams. 

Commonly Found Items

Questions found on more than five websites, including the Honorlock-supported and any other website scanned by Honorlock. We recommend changing these questions for future exams as they are widely available to students.  

Unique Items

 These questions were not found in any search result. These are questions that your students will likely not find online.  

You can also manually upload questions in the Search and Destroy feature prior to creating a quiz. For instructions on how to do that, see the Search and Destroy Honorlock guide. You can also see the Search and Destroy FAQ page for more details.
