Abstract

This paper concerns the use of biometric technology as a means to improve delivery of eLearning material to learners with special needs. We discuss the current state of research and the potential offered by recent advances in and commercialisation of biometric technologies. We then present an ongoing study that examines the application of some of these technologies in learner-assessment of special needs students.
