Abstract

An audit and verification process (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120) is used to encode at least one personal identifier (70, 75) onto a media (80, 90) capable of interfacing with a personal computer, typically a floppy disk (80), encoding at least one password onto a viewable media, typically a videocassette (110) onto the floppy disk (80), displaying a prompt on a computer screen of the personal computer which requires a match of the at least one password from the videocassette (110) with the at least one password encoded on the floppy disk (80), storing multiple questions pertinent to a subject matter of the videocassette (110) on the floppy disk, displaying at least one question of the multiple questions on the computer screen of the personal computer and storing the answer to the at least one question on the floppy disk (120). The at least one password on the videocassette (100, 110) is preferably an audio password, but may include visual passwords as well as combinations.
