KeyLemon joins Blackboard partnerships program to bring facial recognition authentication to online education suite

KeyLemon has just joined the Blackboard Partnerships Program to include its facial recognition in Blackboard’s online education solution, the company announced recently.

“Blackboard Learn represents the latest in teaching and learning technology and techniques,” Anthony Gioeli, VP of sales and marketing for KeyLemon said. “We are excited that Blackboard Learn customers will be able to use KeyLemon’s biometric solutions to further enhance their security, credibility and classroom engagement with no additional workload for students or staff, creating a win-win for student and educator alike.”

KeyLemon says its biometric ID will give users fast authentication that enhances the online learning experience.

Specifically, Blackboard Learn customers may use the KeyLemon face IF plugin for identification and authorization for Blackboard learning functions and tasks. KeyLemon says its face recognition algorithms capture and match a 20-point facial fingerprint to database records in milliseconds.

In addition to authentication, future iterations of KeyLemon’s education solutions will be able to asses head and eye position and monitor emotional responses.
