Integrity Advocate has announced a new partnership with D2L, bringing identity verification, participation monitoring, and AI detection capabilities directly into the D2L Brightspace learning management system.

Why This Partnership Matters Now

The emergence of AI-powered browser plugins has introduced a new challenge for online assessment. These tools can covertly answer exam questions on a participant's behalf without requiring them to leave the assessment page, and they are increasingly easy to obtain and use. Organizations relying on standard LMS controls have no mechanism to detect them.

The Integrity Advocate and D2L partnership addresses this directly, giving Brightspace users access to Integrity Advocate's full suite of monitoring capabilities, including ExposeAI, within their existing platform environment.

What D2L Brightspace Users Now Have Access To

The integration gives D2L Brightspace users access to Integrity Advocate's full monitoring suite, seamlessly embedded within Brightspace and fully responsive across all devices.

This includes ExposeAI, Integrity Advocate's purpose-built detection capability for AI-powered browser plugins, as well as live proctoring services for assessments requiring real-time invigilation.

The integration requires no installation from participants. Integrity Advocate is available on demand, around the clock, on any device and browser, without plugins, extensions, or system configuration changes.

In 2023, just 0.65% of Integrity Advocate users required support, a figure that reflects the low friction of the platform for learners and the reduced administrative burden for organizations running assessments at scale.

Key Highlights

No-Installation Proctoring Philosophy

Integrity Advocate was founded on the principle that user privacy and exam security don't require software installation. As CEO, Graeme explained:

"We were founded 10 years ago with the philosophy that user privacy and security don't need to be sacrificed for the sake of integrity. We know that your users don't want to install software on their devices."

Their browser-based proctoring platform eliminates the technical challenges and privacy concerns associated with traditional proctoring software, making it the industry's leading no-installation solution for remote exam monitoring.

Proven Performance Metrics

Integrity Advocate has proctored over 10 million exam sessions, with industry-leading support efficiency metrics. As the team shared:

"Only 0.58% of our users actually required support last year... from a proctoring standpoint, we lead the industry in terms of our percentage of users who require support."

This demonstrates the platform's reliability and user-friendly design. The company maintains exceptional client retention, never losing a client to competitors.

Simple LMS Integration

The TopClass LMS integration requires only a single checkbox to enable Integrity Advocate's proctoring platform. This streamlined approach eliminates administrative complexity and reduces exam administrators' setup time.

Privacy-First Data Handling

Built on privacy by design principles, the platform minimizes data collection, keeps only required information, shares only what's necessary, and deletes data as soon as possible. Most exam data is automatically deleted within 24 hours, with only flagged violations retained for regulatory compliance periods.

Human-Reviewed Exam Security

Every proctoring session receives human review and validation, providing contextual judgment that automated systems cannot match. As Graeme noted:

"Every single one of our sessions is reviewed and validated by a human reviewer. The importance of having that human in the loop is the ability to apply subjective discretion."

All reviewers complete background checks and 60-day training programs, and 100% of their work is audited by mentors with over five years of experience.

AI-Era Exam Security

With the rapid emergence of AI tools and GPT plugins for academic assistance, Integrity Advocate maintains cutting-edge detection capabilities. Their proctors receive continuous training on evolving cheating methods, ensuring exam security keeps pace with technological advances.

Customizable Security Levels

The proctoring platform offers flexible rule configurations ranging from basic ID verification (Level 1) to comprehensive monitoring (Level 4). Higher security levels include full-screen enforcement, device restrictions, and continuous presence monitoring to match specific exam requirements.

24/7 Global Proctoring

With strategically located proctors across multiple time zones, the platform provides 24/7/365 availability for on-demand exam scheduling, supporting global organizations and flexible testing requirements.

Efficient Support Model

Integrity Advocate's web chat support system handles most user inquiries efficiently, with over 60% of users able to self-serve. This streamlined approach addresses common questions quickly while maintaining phone support availability for complex issues.

Quality Assurance

Integrity Advocate audits 60% of all proctoring sessions to maintain quality standards and accountability. This human oversight ensures consistent service delivery and builds trust with educational institutions and certification bodies.

Conclusion

The TopClass webinar showcased how no-installation online proctoring can deliver robust exam security while maintaining user privacy and administrative simplicity. Integrity Advocate's TopClass LMS integration offers educational institutions a comprehensive solution combining:

• No-installation technology that eliminates software deployment challenges
