Enable Honorlock Exam Proctoring for Blackboard Ultra-Integrated MindTap

If you use Blackboard Ultra, you can prevent cheating by using Honorlock®. Create a Blackboard Ultra test that requires Honorlock and use it to link to MindTap. Your students are monitored by Honorlock while they complete their exam in MindTap.

Note While Cengage supports our learning platform integrations with several Learning Management Systems, proctoring solutions are third party services that we do not directly support. The LMS and proctoring solution versions we have tested might not be the same versions you use. For this reason, your process and results might vary and Cengage cannot guarantee support for any third party proctoring service.

This procedure is for Blackboard® courses with the Ultra Course View.

Honorlock is a browser extension and works only with Google® Chrome™. Students must use Google Chrome to take their exam.

You must first create a password protected exam in MindTap, and add a link to your exam in Blackboard.

In your Blackboard course, locate your MindTap exam link, right click, and copy the link address.

This is the link you will add to your Blackboard test.
