My school is looking for a way to ensure the student that is registered for the course is actually the person that completes the exams in the course.   We cannot have an onsite proctored exam due to students being in many different locations.

I found SMOWL (http://www.moodleworld.com/authenticate-students-by-facial-tracking-using-smowls-face-recognition-plugin/), but there does not seem to be a lot of information and not all links to their information work.  

Has anyone used SMOWL?  If so, can you share your experience.

Does anyone know of another plugin to monitor a student or require student authentication during a quiz?

Thanks,

Dawn
