Computer-based instructional system with student verification feature

摘要

A computer-based distance learning system for teaching a student at a remote location. The student communicates with a teaching center. The student's identity and continued presence is monitored either continually or randomly using recognition continuing systems such as web cameras, biometric tags or other means. An audit trail for verification is provided. The student receives instruction leading to a degree or certification and the school district, in the case of pubic schools, receives "at seat" credit for funding.
