The importance of identity validation
Identity validation becomes an increasingly important procedure for educational institutions to protect their integrity and prestige. In this way, through technology-supported processes, it is possible to reduce risk situations and academic misconduct.
When we speak of "identity validation" we are referring to the process by which the authenticity of a specific user is confirmed. This ensures that the verification process is completely valid, reaffirming that not only is there a real person behind each action, but also that they correspond to who they claim to be.
In other words, identity validation seeks to reduce the risk of an act being carried out in the name of a third party and without authorization. It is particularly significant in the context of fraud prevention, where the detection of false identities is often the best way to reduce damage to institutions.
With this in mind, it is essential to consider that digital transformation became a priority for many spheres of society and the education system is no exception, which is why institutions should always seek to care for the quality and prestige of their educational establishments. Let us now look at more advantages of these digital tools.
Four reasons to implement identity validation
Universities, schools and educational institutions – regardless of the sector they belong to – are exposed to various risks and threats such as fraud and identity theft.
In this context, validation becomes an increasingly important procedure for institutions to protect themselves and have greater security when conducting assessment instances. Below are some of the main reasons to have a tool with these characteristics.
Prevent fraud
With validation software, educational institutions can verify the student's identity, before and during each exam, in order to prevent fraudulent attitudes such as identity impersonation.
Reduce costs
Another benefit is the reduction of costs, both in data management and in student and teaching staff documents and information. It is also possible to save energy and transportation, since by conducting online evaluations the student does not have to travel to the educational center.
Have updated information
Currently, it is common for some institutions not to have complete data due to different reasons, such as migration to fully virtual systems. With these solutions, you can have updated information on customers, suppliers and also employees.
Accredit online modality
The new regulations require the accreditation of online programs, for which it is essential to have an identity validation tool, capable of providing institutions with the peace of mind that the student taking the exam is indeed who they should be.
How do we validate identity at Klarway?
From Klarway, we drive a proctoring solution that performs identity validation, through the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in three different instances.
Registration:
Through the photograph of the student's face and identification document.
Before the evaluation:
Verifying the student's image against the initial registration.
During the exam:
Notifying possible identity impersonation attempts.
We understand that the implementation of virtual assessment instances represents a growth opportunity for universities to enable flexibility through a 100% distance curriculum.
That is why, thanks to the use of artificial intelligence, it is viable to guarantee student identity, allowing institutions to maintain their prestige and academic integrity. After all, now more than ever, technology is a priority to drive the teaching-learning process.
