Pearson eCollege Selects BSI for Identity Proofing

BSI helps you know "WHO" is taking your online courses

BSI's patented BioSig-ID signature biometric technology for identity authentication was selected by Pearson eCollege, as a technology partner for it's LearningStudio online learning platform to verify student identity during the academic administration of the course and exams.

Experts have predicted that by 2015, there will be 25 million post-secondary students in the US taking classes online. While this growth is good news for students and online colleges, the need to manage the verification process of their students as required by federal law can be costly.

Adding BSI as a technology partner will help Pearson eCollege customers keep administrative tasks associated with their growth to a minimum and provide a transparent solution to students that is low-cost and easy to use while maintaining the highest level of student integrity.
