Abstract
Performing identity verification for online education is disclosed. In response to receiving a notification of a submission event, a user is prompted to provide authentication information including at least one of a plurality of types of information. Authentication information received is compared to at least a portion of stored enrollment information associated with the user with which the received authentication information is associated. The stored enrollment information includes at least two different types of information collected during an enrollment phase, including the at least one type of information solicited during the user prompting. In the event that matching criteria are met based at least in part on the comparison, a first action is performed. In the event that matching criteria are not met based at least in part on the comparison, a second action that is different from the first action is performed.
