The university contracts with Honorlock for electronic/online exam proctoring. Honorlock
is integrated into WyoCourses, and can be found under Settings - Navigation, where
you can enable it for use using these instructions. Additonal information on Honorlock can be found on the ECTL Knowledge Base page.
While not a proctoring solution, Respondus Lockdown browser can be used to lock a
student's computer, tablet, or Chromebook during an exam to help prevent cheating.
It can be added to your course navigation the same way as Honorlock. NOTE: Lockdown browser has an add-on called "Monitor" that is an online proctoring tool.
UW does NOT pay for Monitor, but receives 200 free seats every year as a promotional
gesture. When these seats run out this is an additional cost to students, and the
seats can run out in the middle of an exam. For this reason, all exams that need
to be proctored should use Honorlock.
More information for Honorlock and Respondus Lockdown browser can be found in the Table of Installed LTIs.
