Ease of Tracking Student Performance and Maintaining a Centralized Student Database to Fuel E-Learning Market Growth During Forecast Period
E-learning enables teachers to track the progress of students and to make sure their performance accomplishments are met. To ensure that educational activities are fulfilling the ultimate purpose of education and proceeding in the right direction, an institution must track students’ progress. The student performance’s impact is the focus of online learning since it can determine higher education institutions to get public trust and good ratings and the success of students. In the MENA, educational institutes are pursuing new methods for handling student data better and optimizing their operations. Student database management systems reduce workforce requirements, make their tasks easier, and ensure effective learning processes. They are also, maintaining a centralized student database to assemble student information like such as progress reports, medical history, exam results, and attendance records, and more at a centralized location.
To streamline the process of managing student data, a lot of educational institutions are investing in a high-performance student database management system. The cloud or web-based software helps institutes store and organize student-related data in a centralized database. The centralized student database management system automates the process of data handling, thus saving a great deal of time. It also minimizes the chances of human error. A student database management system facilitates smooth communication between parents and teachers, students and teachers, and between among students. With a centralized student database, teachers can notify parents about important school events, such as parent-teacher meetings, and sports day/annual day celebrations, etc. instantaneously. It also enables teachers to send instant updates to parents about their ward’s ward’s attendance, performance reports, disciplinary problems, students’ bus boarding, school bus arrival, and much more over SMS or email. To track the performance of the students and maintain a centralized database, various institutes and organizations are using the software, such as for example, Nigerian ed-tech startup Insight Africa has been using its Studylab product since 2019 to allow teachers and schools to monitor the progress of their students across each subject while providing video tutorials to help fill gaps. Thus, e-learning platforms foster the ease of tracking student performances and maintaining a centralized database, boosting their popularity among education stakeholders in the MENA, thereby driving e-learning market growth.
