    AI Verify ID — Automated Student Identity Verification in Moodle

    Student identity fraud in online assessments is a growing compliance risk for Australian RTOs. The AI Verify ID plugin automates photo ID verification and live selfie matching inside Moodle — before students access their assessments.

    The rise of online VET delivery has brought an uncomfortable compliance challenge: how do you confirm the person completing an online assessment is actually the enrolled student? ASQA's Standards require RTOs to have processes in place to verify student identity, and manual verification via video call is time-consuming and inconsistent. The AI Verify ID plugin embeds automated identity verification directly into Moodle. Students upload a government-issued photo ID and take a live selfie. The AI compares them in seconds and either clears the student to proceed or flags the submission for human review.

    Why your RTO needs this

    An ASQA audit that uncovers identity fraud in your assessment records is a serious compliance event. The AI Verify ID plugin gives you a documented, automated process that meets the spirit of the Standard — and produces a timestamped, logged verification record for every student for every assessment attempt. It's also a strong deterrent: when students know ID verification is required, contract cheating becomes much harder. The whole process takes under 60 seconds per student and happens within Moodle, so the submission experience remains smooth.

    Key Features

    Photo ID Scan

    Students photograph their driver's licence, passport, or government ID card. The AI reads the name and photo automatically.

    Live Selfie Matching

    A live selfie is captured via the student's webcam and compared to the ID photo using facial recognition — detecting spoofing attempts.

    Audit Log

    Every verification event is logged with timestamp, outcome, and confidence score — providing a complete audit trail for ASQA reviews.

    Human Review Queue

    Low-confidence matches are automatically held for assessor review rather than being automatically rejected or passed.

    Assessment Gating

    Assessments are gated behind successful ID verification — students cannot proceed until their identity is confirmed.
