The Center for the Advancement of Teaching is also available to provide guidance on exam and assignment design. If high-stakes assessments are a must for your course, you can consider testing with FSU’s online proctoring service, Honorlock. 

Online Proctoring with Honorlock

Honorlock is available to FSU instructors as an alternative to in-person proctored testing and in cases where alternative assessments are not feasible. The service is offered at no cost to students. Exam sessions are recorded and flagged for review when potential academic misconduct is detected.

  • Your students take their exam in Canvas on their own computer via the internet. 
  • Honorlock verifies your students' identity, records their web activity, and provides built-in features like search and destroy, mobile device detection, and a browser guard to deter cheating.
  • Instructors are responsible for the academic integrity of exams administered through Honorlock. Exam recordings need to be monitored and reviewed for academic misconduct.
  • We recommend including the following syllabus text when choosing to use Honorlock in your course.
