Photos of learners during course
Aug 18, 2016
Hi all,
I have been asked by my client to create an accredited course for the theory part of a national unit course. Practical component would still be delivered face to face. One of the issues we face is ensuring that the right person is actually taking the course.
What tools are available in Storyline to:
a) verify student identification
b) take photos of students through webcam at intervals through the course.
We do have the option of just making the learning content eLearning, then make them sit the assessment in a classroom environment, but really need to know what our options are.
I look forward to hearing from you.
thanks
Sandy

Yes it is an ongoing issue for registered training organisations in Australia. Until recently you could complete your construction white/blue card online, but due to a lot of people with LLN issues having someone else do the course for them, it has been pulled back by the governing body. (I remember doing my husband's white card online as I was much quicker than him!
I think the whole photo thing would be breaching privacy laws and I certainly wouldn't agree to it.
Yes our LMS would manage closed invitations etc, but there is no guarantee who is sitting on the other end of the computer.
How do other people handle this issue?
