The Idiap Research Institute is part of an EU project (TeSLA) to authenticate student identity online throughout the e-assessment process
TeSLA (Adaptive Trust-based e-assessment online at the different learning stages) aims to enable students to be assessed online at the different learning stages within a few years. Apart from the teaching and learning processes, the project works across the related ethical, technological and legal aspects, such as data protection. Moreover, it will be adapted for students with special educational needs. Once it has been developed, a standard free version of the online assessment system will be offered to education institutions and there will be a professional and commercial version for the international market.
