WCET presentation:
"What's Around the Corner? Clarifying Student Authentication in the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008"
The key statement/conclusion in their findings:
"Institutions that offer distance education are expected to have security mechanisms in place, such as ID numbers and other passcode information required to be used each time the student participates in classtime or coursework online. Adopt technology (to support the integrity of student work) as it becomes better, cheaper, and more mainstream. Efforts to ensure the integrity of student work should not impact student privacy."
