How can online assessments help both teachers and schools

When the world's gone into remote working, the educational industry needs a product that can help them ensure that the students keep learning. Online classes were already popular but they don't allow teachers to test a student's knowledge base, thus online assessments have become the need of the hour. If you think about it conducting online assessments can open a plethora of benefits for both the teachers and schools. Let's discuss this one by one.

For Teachers

Teachers are the pioneers of the whole education industry. In traditional classrooms, teachers are often overburdened by numerous tasks. Online assessments can help reduce a lot of stress for teachers.

• Reduced paperwork: Teachers are always looking for some help with the paperwork. The constant management of student records, exam papers, answer sheets, etc. is a tiresome task. A switch to online assessment would mean all this paperwork vanishing and a lot less documentation.

• Instant Paper Checking: With apps like Schoolzpro, teachers can check papers as soon as the students submit the answer sheet. In traditional classrooms, the teacher will ideally wait for everyone to submit the answer sheets and then check them at a later point of time. Features like real-time paper checking (available in Schoolzpro), will help teachers save a lot of time and help provide instant results and feedback to the student.

• Progress Monitoring: Generally, a teacher is unable to keep a progress report of each student. Yes, teachers maintain a record of the marks scored in exams but that’s not enough, is it? With online assessments and post result analysis in apps like Schoolzpro, the teacher can keep a complete track record of a student’s strengths and weaknesses. By using the data generated from result analysis, teachers can also work towards improving the school’s overall result by implementing new methodologies to teach the tough topics.

There are many other ways in which online assessments can help the teachers, why don’t you take a practical approach and try out the Schoolzpro application for online assessments. With this app, you can conduct online assessments and share study material with ease. 

For Students

Besides the teachers, students to have to work vigorously to maintain all the class notes, material, and everything, online assessments can help release a lot of burden from the student’s shoulder too.

• Access to answer sheets: One of the most important benefits that students get from the online assessment is the availability of answer sheets. Normally, once a student takes an exam in school, his answer sheet is taken by the teacher and he/she can only see it once when the teacher declares the results. While in online assessment the student has access to the results and answer sheet of all the exams taken by him.

• Study material: A complete online assessment app like Schoolzpro will also allow teachers to upload study material for the students. In regular classes, the student has to manage everything in the form of class notes and even a single day’s absence means double work. When the student gets the study material online, he/she doesn’t have to worry about the absence or making notes. There’s an added advantage of finding the material in the form of videos for better understanding.

• Instant Results: A matter of excitement for most of the students, the instant result is something students can never witness in classrooms. In online assessments teachers can check papers in real-time and leave feedback for students, using which the student can realize and work upon his mistakes. 

Again, all, these are just a few ways in which online assessments can help students. If you truly want to know about the potential of online assessments, take a demo of the Schoolzpro app now!
