Training on the Web: Identifying and Authenticating Learners
Abstract
Soldiers who receive training in the workplace, at their residences, or at other sites outside the traditional classroom increasingly rely upon asynchronous distributed learning systems. This accentuates the need to identify various forms of training compromise, such as obtaining questions beforehand or enlisting a proxy for test taking in non-proctored, web-based learning environments. A one-day workshop, summarized in this report, was conducted to identify practical solutions to training compromise on the Web or military intranets. Experts from government, academia, and industry generated solutions in the areas of test security, biometrics (including fingerprint identification, face recognition, iris scanning, and hand writing recognition), legal issues, public key infrastructure, instructional design, and test design. Following the workshop, an Army advisory group prioritized the solutions into a final list of recommendations, included here as a starting point for addressing and preventing training compromise.
