Despite of the advances in the e-learning domain during the last decades, there is a lack of suitable mechanism to carry out assessment with the appropriate measures to avoid cheating. Current LMSs do not provide the needed features to check that the intended student is taking the online exam by himself, or even to know if he has spent the whole session time in front of the computer. This paper presents a web-based application that offers biometric authentication based on face-recognition. This application, which can be easily integrated in currently available LMSs, is able to use face-recognition during access control, tracking and assessment. Thus it is possible to improve security during critical phases in the learning process (e.g. assessment).
