Goal 2 Module 1

MODULE 2.1

OVERVIEW OF THE CASA CRITERIA

 

Objectives

  1. Explain how the CASA criteria can be used as a tool for evaluating your identification system.
  2. Explain how cost, Alignment, Sensitivity, and Access are important considerations for measuring an effective identification system.
  3. Explain how the CASA criteria are not to be considered in isolation as they are interrelated. As one CASA criterion changes, the other criteria are affected.

 

Learning Tasks

  1. Watch Goal 2 Module 1 Video
  2. Complete Goal 2 Module 1 Application Activity (recommended)
  3. Read Goal 2 Module 1 Additional Resources (recommended)
