Abstract

Find out how BSI can help you meet HEOA and accreditation organization requirements for student identity verification and for the lowest cost and highest academic integrity result.

Extended Abstract

How are you meeting the requirements from the HEOA and your accreditation organization for student identity verification when it's not just about the final exam? Institutions need to ensure that the same student who submits assignments, takes exams, and earns a final grade is the same one who enrolled in that course. Is physical or webcam proctoring the best way? Will the student incur a cost? Are you disclosing the fees at the time of registration. How can you protect your students privacy?

BSI's technology meets and exceeds these requirements. We are the lowest cost technology that provides *unlimited* student ID authentication, reduces time and expense by eliminating physical proctoring and is 3rd party tested to be 99.97% accurate in keeping impostors out. We are also the only biometric option that ensures your student's privacy as it can be revoked and reissued. We're integrated with leading LMS systems and do not require any installation of hardware or software on the client side and can be used on any system from smart-phones to desktops, Mac or PC and Flash or HTML5. Best of all, we've gotten a 98% positive user rating from thousands of students who have been surveyed and use our system every day.
