EdX is offering certifdicates with courses, tracking user identity in a manner very similar to Coursera (which reportedly made $1 million from the scheme this year). According to their website, "Using a series of photos of you and your ID, we are able to verify that you are the person completing your work in the course. When you complete and pass the course, your verified certificate provides a level of comfort to others who may want assurance about the authenticity of your edX coursework."
