Integrity Advocate

Integrity Advocate is a browser-based online proctoring, identity verification and participation monitoring solution, developed in Canada, designed to help organisations ensure that online exams, courses and training are completed honestly and by the right person. As education, professional certification and compliance training move online, organisations face challenges verifying learners' identities and deterring misconduct without resorting to intrusive monitoring or expensive live proctoring. Integrity Advocate addresses this with a privacy-focused approach that uses the learner's webcam and browser to verify identity and monitor behaviour, applying automated analysis and human review. Its emphasis on privacy is a key differentiator: the service is designed to minimise data collection and retention, avoids installing software on the learner's device, and aims to respect participants' rights while giving organisations confidence in the integrity of results. The service is designed to scale from small cohorts to large programmes.

Key capabilities include photo identification verification at the start of a session, continuous webcam monitoring to confirm the same person remains present, detection of rule violations such as additional people or unauthorised materials, and screen monitoring where required. Participation monitoring can confirm that learners are actively engaged throughout mandatory training, which is relevant for regulated industries and continuing education. Flagged incidents are reviewed, and results are provided to administrators with evidence, allowing informed decisions. Integration options include plugins for learning management systems such as Moodle, Canvas, D2L Brightspace, LearnDash and others, as well as an API for custom platforms. Because it runs in the browser, learners can typically start sessions without complex technical setup. Target customers include universities, colleges, professional associations, certification bodies, corporate training providers, driver education companies and continuing education providers. Pricing starts from around USD 3.50, typically per session or participant, with a free trial; there is no permanently free version.
