Design identity-checked exams for UK distance and dual-pathway awards—integrity operations, not spyware.
Online or on campus
UK distance assessment failed publicly whenever a university outsourced integrity to a black-box proctor and called it quality. This PGCert starts with process: identity evidence, live oral confirmation, assessment design that reduces cheating payoff, and appeals that do not discriminate against disabled students or poor broadband. Ofqual-facing literacy appears because regulated language about assessment security will show up in complaints; you are not trained as Ofqual staff. British and rUK students sit on both pathways; the certificate insists that campus and online awards remain one construct. The award does not certify a proctoring product and it does not authorise covert capture of household members. Capstones are policy-and-protocol dossiers for a named dual-pathway programme. Haverton University treats identity checking as an assessment construct with residual impersonation risk, not as a biometric theatre that humiliates disabled students or households on a shared connection. Ofqual-facing vocabulary appears in complaints literacy; it is not a claim of regulator employment. Storm weeks and timezone-aware vivas belong in the protocol, because London weather and remote students are both facts of this university’s dual pathway. The protocol must name what you will not capture in a student’s home. PGCert Identity-Checked Assessment (UK Distance) is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 9 months, and the credit total is 15. Students move from What Identity Evidence Can and Cannot Prove through What Identity Evidence Can and Cannot Prove; Live Oral, Viva, and Synchronous Confirmation; UK Data Protection in Exam Capture; Campus Hall and Online Twin: One Award; Ofqual-Facing Language for Non-Staff, and finish on Ofqual-Facing Language for Non-Staff. Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students apply the method of the subject to a defined problem and defend the result. Reading is a core text, a case or dataset, and a critique. The artefact a marker expects is a submission that shows the method, the evidence, and the limit of the claim. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Specify an identity-checked protocol with residual-risk notes Design tasks that reduce impersonation payoff Align accessibility, data protection, and integrity Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass. The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.
Fifteen credits, nine months: identity evidence, assessment design, law and accessibility, and a supervised protocol dossier. Dual pathway. No vendor logos.
