• Computer-controlled School Management Systems: Comprehensive software
applications that automate administrative tasks, such as attendance tracking,
grading, scheduling, and student information management, improving educational
institutions' efficiency, accuracy, and organization.
• Advantages:
•
Absenteeism can be addressed more quickly.
•
Parents are kept updated.
•
Reduced workload for teachers.
• Disadvantages:
•
Operating the software will require training.
•
The initial cost of the software is very high.
•
Unauthorized access will have to be prevented as there is lot of personal
information

ID cards with magnetic tapes: The students will have to swipe their ID
cards, which contain the student’s name, school’s name, date of birth
and the registration ID when they enter and leave the school; this way,
time is saved, and the attendance is more accurate.
Biometrics: Every student’s fingerprint is stored on a database along
with their personal information, the students must put their finger on a
fingerprint scanner to enter or leave the school premises.
• Advantages of biometrics over magnetic ID cards
• Unique fingerprints disable attendance forgery
• Portability makes them easy to lose
• Easy to be stolen due to small size
• ID cards can be easily cloned
• Disadvantages of biometrics over magnetic ID cards
• It is time-consuming for all fingerprints to be individually collected
• Expensive equipment is required to read fingerprints
• If the finger is cut/damaged, the fingerprint won’t be readable, and
access will be denied.
• There is an invasion of privacy in storing fingerprints on a school
database.
LEARNER’S
PERFORMANCE
AND COMPUTER
AIDEDLEARNING
• Learner’s performance
•
Spreadsheets can be used to record students’ performances. It is
easier to compare each other’s performances and an individual
student’s performance over the academic year.
• Computer-aided learning
•
The use of computer-based technologies to help students acquire
academic material is known as computer-aided learning (CAL).
They are meant to supplement classroom instruction, not serve
its purpose. Students will take online assessments to track their
progress while learning on computers. Although CAL cannot
consistently assist a student with an issue, in certain
circumstances, students would need to get other aid.
