Education Portal The Logistics of Learning and
Teaching Made Easy
Formal education teaches many things. It is
essential that those things provide quality
value to our lives. The logistical side of
formal education is messy, to say the least. Good
teaching faculty is difficult to come by and
therefore schools are often understaffed.
Students are not always given much choice about
certain classes or class hours.
Apart from this, they have no intimation of their
attendance level and this often impacts their
graduation. The institutionalization of formal
education becomes too

negatively hierarchical rather than focusing on
what is important, which is the growth of young
minds. As academic professionals, one should
treat education as a constant exchange. We
believe that this exchange should be seamless.
Technology comes into play here. There is a neat
solution that large educational institutions or
smaller schools can use. It is a custom web
portal. Web portal solutions are for everyone.
You have to get a custom portal development
company to design one for you. Before you do
that, lets dive deeper and look at all the
possibilities of using an education
portal. First, the basics You must already
maintain a database of all your students, admin
staff and teaching faculty. If you manage this
database in a CRM, these components can be
interconnected. The right people can have the
right access. The level of access will depend on
whether they are a member of the administrative
staff, teaching faculty or a student. Lets
break it down, to see what each level of access
would enable what functions Admin level If you
are an admin staff member, the education portal
can streamline and aid your work to a great
degree. As the

• Personnel management streamlines with faculties
  managing their schedules, classes, and grading
  work using Education portal.
• You get an overview of the institutes financial
  status with the fees receipt management
  system.
• Now, it may not be essential to monitor each
  student for you, but youd easily be able to
  have an overview of the highest scoring
  students, or ones who are in the running for
  school-wide various competitions, or the topics
  of higher-level papers they are writing. You
  would also be able to look at how the teaching
  staff is doing in course completion, or in
  conducting extra-curricular activities how they
  are doing their own research work or handling
  grading.
• General Admin members can easily handle records
  of students and teaching faculty. They can
  assign classrooms for lectures, help students
  sign up for courses, ready a

• Admin Level benefits of Education Portal
• Once an education portal is set up, it
  drastically cuts down on redundant tasks.

  timetable, and neither would students.

  student so that the portal alerts the students
  and their parents when the fee is due.

• Teaching Faculty
• A teachers responsibilities are not limited to
  merely teaching four classes a week. It is much
  more than that. A teacher can accomplish their
  tasks with relatively more ease with the help of
  an education web portal.
• Heres how
• As a teacher, you can have all your classes at
  hand.
• At the beginning of a semester/year, when
  students have to register for courses, you would
  be able to see as students sign up for your
  course. Once that is decided, you can feed in
  details of each course and breakdown of each
  class. This way a course plan is set and you can
  keep a track of it throughout the semester.
• You can easily set assignments for students,
  grade them, mark daily attendance, accept
  medical leave requests from students and even
  request leaves for yourselves that the admin
  staff can approve.
• As a teacher, you can also keep a track of each
  of your students progress based on class tests,
  exams, and attendance records.
• If you need to take any extra session, you can
  add sessions to the portal which will notify
  your students that they have an extra class. The
  portal will

• automatically let you book a slot only when none
  of your students have another class.
• You can see the calculation of students
  attendance percentage in your class, their grade
  percentage, etc. once the metrics are set. Then
  each faculty member can send in the grade report
  for their course so that the admin staff can
  create consolidated reports for each student that
  would have all of their courses and
  extracurricular.
• Student level
• Almost all the modules that are available to
  students are with view only access. Basically,
  this portal provides them with an overview of
  how they are doing during a particular academic
  year.
• Heres what theyll be able to view/do
• All the courses they are taking, and their
  timetable.
• All the grades this helps in case they are
  lagging behind in one test. They can improve
  their overall graph, by working for the next
  tests.
• Students can use this portal to submit medical
  leave requests along with a medical certificate.
  The respective faculty member can approve it for
  their class and grant them the required
  attendance.

• They would be able to see their overall
  attendance, as well as a breakdown of each
  class.
• Students can submit their paper for rechecking
  when they get grades for any course. If the
  professor rechecks it, they can change the grade
  and the student can see the replaced grade. The
  change would reflect in the final
  overall/average grade too.
• After each semester, when the students entire
  grade is ready, they can see it and even print
  it. It would automatically include the schools
  logo and important details like the affiliated
  board.
• A school or college is a very complicated
  structure with plenty of variables. It shapes
  the lives of students and the careers of anyone
  who is interested in the way education
  functions, from professors to admin staff.
  Running a school is no mean feat. With more than
  hundreds of students taking a variation of over
  20 courses each, it can be challenging to
  manage, especially along with managing what
  professor teaches what course and which student
  needs to get extra credits to graduate.
• An education portal aims to streamline that
  complex workflow. Since a school would require
  an enterprise-level solution so that it can
  expand when it needs to, you can use
