Can e-Authentication Raise the Confidence of Both Students and Teachers in Qualifications Granted Through the e-Assessment Process?

The EU-funded TeSLA project - Adaptive Trust-based e-Assessment System for Learning (http://tesla-project.eu) has developed a suite of instruments for e-Authentication. These include face recognition, voice recognition, keystroke dynamics, forensic analysis and plagiarism detection were designed for...

This paper describes the findings of this large-scale study where over 50% of students gave a positive response to the use of these tools.

We find that care is needed when introducing such technologies to ensure the building of the layers of trust required for their successful adoption.Denise WhitelockChris EdwardsAlexandra OkadaCommonwealth of Learningarticlee-athaunticatione-assessmentTheory and practice of educationLB5-3640ENJournal of Learning for Development, Vol 7, Iss 1, Pp 46-60 (2020)
