Do I have to use a proctor, and is proctoring free?
Yes and yes; proctoring is required for all our exams to ensure the identity of the test taker and the integrity of the testing environment. TEL utilizes Honorlock, a third-party remote proctoring service, which is included in the cost of the course. Students can download and enable the Honorlock Google Chrome extension by navigating to the "Midterm Exam" and "Final Exam" Module in their Canvas course. There, you'll find the necessary setup instructions, exam expectations, and guidelines to begin your proctored exam.
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to Support@tel-education.org for more information.
