Which term ensures evidence authenticity for assessments?

• A. Resource Control
• B. Authentication
• C. Unit 3
• D. Total Marks

Answer: (B)

The key idea here is proving that the work submitted for an assessment actually comes from the learner and hasn’t been copied or produced by someone else. This is about establishing authenticity of evidence. The term that captures this process is authentication. It involves steps like verifying the learner’s identity, ensuring the work matches what the learner produced, and often having the learner sign declarations or have a supervisor witness the submission. When authentication is in place, it protects the integrity of the assessment and makes sure grades reflect the learner’s own effort.

The other terms don’t address proving authorship. Resource control is about guarding access to materials, unit 3 is just a unit title, and total marks refer to scoring, not to confirming that the evidence is genuinely the learner’s work.
