Challenge	The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 led to a sudden shift from traditional classroom learning to remote learning. This change posed a significant challenge to maintaining academic integrity, as monitoring students during assessments became a complex task. The traditional methods of proctoring, such as physical supervision in a classroom, were no longer feasible. The challenge was to find a solution that could ensure academic integrity at an unprecedented scale without compromising the user experience. Honorlock, a company specializing in online proctoring, was faced with the task of scaling their solution to meet the increased demand. Their existing video provider was unable to scale quickly enough to meet their expectations. Read More

Solution	Honorlock developed a unique solution that combined Twilio Programmable Video with proprietary AI to offer an efficient virtual proctoring experience. This solution integrated seamlessly with popular learning management systems like Canvas and Blackboard. The platform was designed with user needs in mind, allowing instructors to toggle proctoring on and off for different assessments, and students to activate a browser extension that runs in the background while they work. The platform blended automation and live proctoring to create an agile, intelligent strategy for student monitoring. The AI would flag behavioral red flags in the stream captured by Twilio Video, and proctors could then enter the exam on an on-call basis. This preserved a live, human perspective as an integral part of the proctoring experience. Honorlock also used Twilio’s Network Quality API to monitor the network quality of test takers and implement backup protocols when network quality was low. Read More Log in to view content
