INCITS hasdeveloped a scale for each of the three parameters. A current problem is that many biometricvendors neither rely on the INCITS quality definitions nor on its scales. Another major problem within the biometric industry is the lack of mature standards.Mature standards ensure that vendors comply with common authentication protocols, usecommon biometric exchange file formats, share common scales of sample quality and develop acommon protocol for equipment conformance testing.

Likewise, Williams et al. usedinterviews as the method for data collection and included long quotes from the participants, whichconnects to the idea of experiential knowledge in that, again, the student’s personal experiencesare valid data points [28]. The use of evaluations is important to note because even thoughcourses could center success on pass/fail rates, these researchers seek to understand more aboutthe overall experience with these interventions and the students’ self-perceived success.DiscussionFrom this work, it is seen that the field could benefit from intentional cultural considerations inthe development and evaluation of computing curriculum.
