Biometric Check-in Feature

Students taking an eLearning course can now be required to perform a biometric check-in. This new accountability feature is designed primarily for students who have been referred by a probation or parole department or for those who have referred by a court or attorney, and can be selected or deselected in the referral option section.

Steps: Biometric Check-in Feature

Step 1: Biometric Check-in Email to Student

Once Biometric Check-in has been selected by the referring agency, the student will receive an email informing them that a biometric check-in will be required at certain points while taking the course, and that an active email address and a smartphone with a good internet connection is required.

Step 2: In-course Check-in via QR code

At any point while taking an eLearning course, the student will see a notification indicating a biometric check-in is required. A student who is using a laptop or desktop computer must scan the QR code with their smartphone camera to proceed. For students who are using a smart phone to take their course, they will be presented with a button to click to initiate the check-in.

Step 3: Smartphone Authentication

Students will then be required to use their mobile phone to check-in using seamless iOS and Android native biometric user authentication. Students will not be able to advance in their course without a successful authentication.

Step 4: Student Resumes Course After Successful Authentication

Once the Biometric Check-in is successfully completed, the student may resume taking the course.

Step 5: Admin Users Can View Check-ins

Admin and Super Admin users can view the login of successful and unsuccessful check-ins.
