1. sales@crmjetty.com 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 hierarchicaal 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 www.crmjetty.com

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. Let’s break it down, to see what each level of access would enable what functions: 1)Admin level: If you are an admin staff member, the education portal can streamline and aid your work to a great degree.

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.

They can improve their overall graph, by working for the next tests. - 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. www.crmjetty.com
