This work will require changes to the IDV application to support this new provider. In order to design an approach that serves the needs of 2U and the Open edX commu…

I want to flag this thread: Deprecation/Removal: ID Verification flow in edx-platform where idv deprecation did not move forward At the time, @sambapete and @giovannicimolin expressed their use of the flow; edulib has since moved off of the Open edX platform, and I’m not sure who to tag from OpenCr…

We use proctored exams at MIT Open Learning, but we don’t use ID Verfication. That said, there is some dependency on name affirmation that I don’t quite understand. It comes up from time to time when learners taking a proctored exam have changed their name. cc @shellyu who may have more to say.
