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 theCommittee on Academic Misconduct (COAM). If you are using Ohio State issued hardware and cloud services, your data will be encrypted.

  2. The student’s screenshare recording allows you to see the student’s screen during the exam. It also allows you to see the room scan and ID scan 
     
  3. The controls at the bottom of the viewer 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 a PC) or ctrl + click (on a Mac) 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.

This includes any pre-exam checks or authentications, any pop-in 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 the exam question the student was viewing at that time, any flag, and a brief description.   
    • Clicking on the event will automatically jump to that moment in the exam for both the student webcam and the screen recordings.
