LearnerVerified Brings Security to the Virtual Classroom

Today at The eLearning Guild’s annual DevLearnconference, LearnerVerified is launching its new line of learner identificationand monitoring services. Responding to a large and growing hole in the onlinetraining industry, LearnerVerified leverages video, web, and biometrictechnology to help training providers and managers ensure that the learners whosign up for a course and earn credentials online are who they say they are.

Services include:                         

• Automatic learner identityverification
• Live agent identity verification
• Authenticated attendanceverification
• Remote exam proctoring

Once training is done, a secure mobileCredential Manager app invites learners to track their training history andshare verified credentials with training managers or regulatory agents.

The LearnerVerified development team, led bychief technology officer Don Riep, brings together decades of eLearningindustry experience. Every member is obsessed with using science and technologyto make online learning safer and more defensible. “The result,” Riep says, “isa seamless experience for the training manager and the learner. LearnerVerifiedservices can be used with any SCORM-compliant learning management system (LMS),or with standalone courses. Once launched, learners never need leave the courseor their browser—live agent identity verification, webcam monitoring andscreening, and keystroke biometric authentication are built right into theirexperience.”

LearnerVerified president Greg Kureluk will bepresenting the new software to participants at DevLearn 2017. You can catch his presentation, “Learner Fraud: The Dark Side ofOnline Learning,” October 25 at 12:15 PM on the Emerging Tech stage. In his presentation,he’ll discuss learner fraud, when learners take credit for completing a courseor credential online that they have not earned. Kureluk will unpack the risksthat learner fraud presents, particularly for high-stakes and regulatedindustries such as finance, insurance, real estate, health, and safety. He’llend with a discussion on how technology can help make online learning moredefensible and secure. “Together,” he says, “we can help bring the security andcertainty of in-person learning to the virtual classroom. Organizations need nolonger risk negligence, lawsuits, or ruined lives when upgrading workplacelearning to online, and training providers can be assured that they are onlyissuing certificates that have been truly earned.”

TheLearnerVerified team will also be running live demos every 30 minutes on theexhibition floor. You can find them at Booth 408, or check out LearnerVerified.com to learn more.
