In a previous employment, our invigilation policy was to ask for another piece of ID should the student not present his or her student card. It was rare to find a student without a bank card, for example. However, I considered it a failing of that system that a signature was not recorded on the exam attendance slip - a signature would have been a mechanism to allow post-exam verification, if necessary. This might be simpler than, say handwriting analysis. I suppose in modern times, a digital camera could be used to take a panoramic shot of the candidates, and retrieved if there's any dispute. I'll not go into the data protection issues with regards to that now!

However - big 'however' - understandably, it requires a stout heart to do this and cause the distress to the student! Starting with this summer's main examinations we are going to be using external/appointed invigilators and this is going to be raised in their training. I've also suggested to our exams office that it may be simple enough, as extra security, for the tiny minority of scripts to be annotated 'Photo ID not presented' and then leave it to the marker to investigate should he/she have concerns over that piece of work. Hope this helps.

She wondered if we had any experience of what institutions were doing with regard to this, and what methods were in place to prevent it happening, and also for detection. After a trawl of various institutions' policies and procedures, we found that many were able to give a definition, but few seemed to expand on preventative measures, and appropriate action. Do list members have any experiences in this area?
