Case Study: Athens State University achieves stronger online exam integrity with Acxiom Identity Verification

Online University Adds Real-Time Identity Verification

Athens State University, which serves more than 3,500 students in Alabama, wanted to strengthen the integrity of its online courses by making sure the person taking each exam was the enrolled student. To address this challenge, the university turned to Acxiom and its identity verification and authentication products for distance-learning exam security.

Acxiom implemented real-time identity verification that asks students assessment questions drawn on demand from public consumer records, helping confirm identity without advance student input. The solution helped Athens State University preserve academic integrity, deter identity theft, and reduce costs tied to testing centers, proctor validation, and proctored exams.
