Online Courses and Technical Approaches to Authentication of Student Work

Summary/Abstract: Online courses are being offered globally. Two key concerns that keep coming up are authentication and validation. Authentication is critically important. Many programs have no photo id of the student right through graduation. Validation of work is important - many programs don't have proctored exams. We describe research on both these frontiers at Boston University within the context of our Masters in Computers Information Systems online and online education in general at Metropolitan College. In this paper we provide an overview of a test system called OpMoSys Assessment Validation. It has resulted in us testing student assignments via smartphones and has resulted in assessing a fair grade.
