When AI Changes the Rules: How TopClass and Integrity Advocate Keep Certifications Trustworthy
AI has made assessment integrity impossible to ignore. For associations running certification and continuing education programs, the stakes are high -- your credentials are only as valuable as the trust behind them. In this 30-minute session, TopClass and Integrity Advocate break down what the rise of AI means for online assessments and what associations can do about it today.

Webinar summary
This webinar explained how generative AI has changed certification risk. Brandon Smith showed how candidates can now move through course content quickly, use AI tools to answer questions, or mask identity through virtual cameras and cloned video feeds. The session focused on a practical response: Privacy-First monitoring, identity verification, metadata checks, and Human-Reviewed decisions that give programs evidence they can defend.
Edward Wendling then showed how the TopClass integration works in practice. Administrators choose which assessments need proctoring, turn Integrity Advocate on for those activities, and publish everything inside the learning experience they already manage in TopClass. Learners stay in one workflow, complete a guided setup, and take the assessment in TopClass while monitoring runs in the background. After the session, reviewers evaluate flagged events so organizations can hold results for review when needed and release trusted outcomes with a stronger record behind every credential.
What you will take back to your team
AI changed more than answer sharing
The webinar covered AI-assisted cheating, autonomous test-taking tools, virtual cameras, and cloned identities. The point was clear: certification programs now need evidence that reaches beyond a score report.
Proctoring can stay inside the LMS
TopClass clients can choose which exams need proctoring, configure the rules for each assessment, and keep learners in the same course and testing flow they already know. That keeps rollout simpler for administrators and candidates.
Trusted credentials need connected evidence
The speakers showed why the LMS, the proctoring layer, and the credentialing system need to work together. When those systems share verified outcomes, you can issue credentials with stronger confidence and clearer audit trails.
