I recently wrote a blog post that addressed educational identity.
It turns out I missed some things.
While searching for a post-COVID article that discussed the use of biometrics in education (to supplement my existing educational identity information), I found an entire scientific paper on the topic.
The paper, “Biometric applications in education,” was shared on the U.S. National Library of Medicine website.
Here’s an excerpt from the abstract:
Educational institutions are acquiring novel technologies to help make their processes more efficient and services more attractive for both students and faculty. Biometric technology is one such example that has been implemented in educational institutions with excellent results. In addition to identifying students, access control, and personal data management, it has critical applications to improve the academic domain’s teaching/learning processes. Identity management system, class attendance, e-evaluation, security, student motivations, and learning analytics are areas in which biometric technology is most heavily employed.

Hmm…I didn’t even think about class attendance. But a camera capturing faces that walk into the classroom or join the online webinar should do the trick.
