SchoolCom Launches SmartTabs In Schools

Changing the way schools operate is yet another credit to one of the most eloquent disciplines of the decade- 'Technology'. As to the core influences of technology in schools, it is speculated to have solved the spot on problem of stagnant data and sparse communication for the stakeholders. The X generation of consumers in retrospect had humdrum routines of receiving education on blackboards and performance reports on customary school-printed cards. They rarely sufficed the complete information sought by parents and students. Moreover, teachers taught without personalized approach towards students mainly owing to the lack of real-time and targeted information at their disposal.

SchoolCom is a cloud based analytics platform which was developed with the sole proposition of fine-tuning the ineffective information system in schools. Till date, it has been able to successfully leverage management of affairs at schools by serving real-time insights availability, visual representation of report cards, detailed performance analytics concerning each student and topping all with germane two way sms alerts exchanged between parents, students, teachers and principals. Hence, connects the dots by bringing all stakeholders together.

Contributing more innovation, SchoolCom has launched its flagship product, “SmartTab” for the utility of principals and teachers at schools. SmartTab is ubiquity focused device pre-fed with master data of a particular school viz. student records, modules, teachers, sections; etc. Moreover, the tab has inbuilt Wi-Fi connectivity and offline-online syncing technology which does away with any impediment to the access for the user. Tabs have different usability in the technical insights with respect to teachers and principals.

SmartTab empowered Principal of a school can take management decisions sitting at his desk with succinct statistics presented in the form of infographics as deep till each classroom and individual student studying in it is covered.
