A computerized method for administering a program to an individual over a computer network, the method comprising: configuring at least one processor(s) to perform steps of: receiving a request from a web browser or computer program launched by a computer used by the individual for access to a web page comprising program material; obtaining a first image of the individual's biometric data using a biometric reader; providing the individual with access to program material over the network prior to authenticating the individual; imaging the individual's biometric data with the biometric reader while the individual is accessing the program and correlating the first image with the images obtained by continuously or periodically imaging the individual's biometric data; inserting a value into a unique data field embedded in a web page wherein the value is an access value if the biometric reader is activated and wherein the value changes to a decline value if one or more of the images does not match the first image; and terminating access to the program material once one or more of the images obtained by continuously or periodically imaging the individual's biometric data does not match the first image.
