BioSIG-ID - Coming to an Online Course near You!
What is BioSIG? It is the multifactor
authentication tool that the district has selected to make it more difficult
for unauthorized users to access secure data or to commit fraud by posing as
another individual. Its intended focus will be to minimize academic
dishonesty in online courses. BioSIG-ID is fully integrated with our
CANVAS LMS. All fully-online and hybrid courses will be using BIOSIG-ID
starting in Summer 2014. We had a training on 2/12 @ 2:00 in Academic 101.
If you missed the training, you can find a curriculum that can be accessed through
AlamoLEARN that includes the recording of this training which shows best
practices using BioSIG.
