Can you provide some examples of how my RTO can authenticate online assessment? (Clause 1.8)

Showing authenticity in assessment means ensuring the evidence presented for assessment is the learner's own work.

ASQA does not prescribe the methods RTOs should use to ensure an assessment is authentic.

However, your RTO must consider how it will:

• ensure that the evidence gathered "belongs" to the learner being assessed and that it provides evidence of that person's skills and knowledge, and
• verify that the person you are enrolling, training and assessing is the same person that will be issued with a qualification or statement of attainment.

You may choose to utilise a mix of security measures to ensure authenticity.

One example might be:

• confirming a student's identity by using an accredited third party to confirm the student is the person who registered for and completed the assessment, and
• storing this confirmation with the assessment results.

There are many other security measures which RTOs can use.
