Q: The University of North Dakota administrators are asking if there is any research that has been done on verifying online learners (and campus as well) when they register or get admitted to the University of North Dakota instead of verifying them when they take a proctored test.  So, it would be an upfront verification vs. later in their education experience.  We use PeopleSoft for the main campus registration system and Augusoft Lumens for non-credit.  We have reviewed Proctor U for electronic proctoring.  Thank you. 

 A: Here are links to some articles on this topic:
