Teachers in many schools and colleges across the world do not just have to teach the pupils, in fact, they are also responsibl­e for organizing most of the important paperwork such as student appraisal reports, class schedules, attendance and so on. In some academic institutes, such procedures are being completed via the pen and paper approach. Every single report has to be hand written and student attendance is marked via traditiona­l methods.

Such procedures do not only wastes time, but also has a greater margin of error and mistakes as well as waste in effort and resources. Through cloud-based technologi­es, these processes will be automated for the teachers in order to manage their time easily.
