Digital Learning Resources

What's the latest?

As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance exam security in online courses, USF has piloted and launched two new Honorlock features available Summer 2026: the Honorlock App and Side Camera View. Please note that both features require additional setup for instructors and students (for example, the Side Camera View requires an external webcam). For additional information or to schedule a consultation please email us. Additionally, Digital Learning will be providing workshops, Monday Minute updates, and updated guidance within the Honorlock Readiness checklist to support faculty implementation and student preparedness.
