Re: [Bodington-developers] call for partners and leaders in a portability and biometrics project

[Selwyn L. <sel...@ph...>]

Hi Alistair,

No paper as such, but thats the thing here we are looking to colab and 
cooperate on this first.

So to coin a phrase we might call it openPBS

Primarily driven from disatisfaction with ims eportfolio and the endless 
debate regards unique id...

The proposal would.. perhaps, be for a group of us to research and 
develop a pilot for convenient, secure and reassuring methods for 
students to move between organisations in the context of lifelong learning.

Asserting with biometrics perhaps...
 - we could aim to reduce identity theft
 - improve data control etc

Furthermore biometric identity provides us a variety of potential 
interoperability...
more assertion...
- Once registered somewhere, things speed up for the biometric user
- systems can tag electronic artifcacts with biometric data
- Ed I's may even issue real world objects such as a student card, 
passport or even a paper certifcate with embedded biometric identity

biometrics aren't always that expensive, thumbprint, retinal, 
handwriting recognition...

Personally I would be advocating simplest and cheapest first... which 
provides the users [admin and users] most convenience
But collectively is the real point of bringing this out in the open, its 
not just about some folks from Phos-dev

So we would like to colaborate on a draft...

Any others up for this first step? Any potential lead institution out there?

on one occasion i did challenge for dna but that would be expensive and 
it may take a week or so to login :)
