Virtual Substitution Alert System
THE PROBLEM:
During a regular school day, the substitution lists are displayed on monitors outside the staff rooms. This not effective because:
- Teachers may forget about their respective substitution due to his/her busy schedule.
- Students tend to crowd up in front of the screen which is not ethical in the current pandemic situation.
- In the situation of a school event, teachers on duty may be the respective substitution teacher of a class, thus leaving the class unsupervised.
OBJECTIVE:
To automate the current substitution system for an enhanced learning environment.
PROPOSED SOLUTION:
- A python algorithm can be built to alert teachers on substitutions automatically using a desktop app.
- The system will need an input from the school’s world class biometric system regarding attendance.
- With these inputs the algorithm will generate a dynamic substitution list personalized for the teacher.
FEATURES OF QUICKSUB:
- Teacher will get details only about her substitutions to avoid confusion.
- The algorithm will be made as such that each teacher will have not more than the prescribed classes in a day.
- More preference will be given to the teachers from the same department and grade, etc.
GOALS:
- Automate and simplify the process of making substitution charts.
- Ensure smooth and uninterrupted learning with a unified alert system.
- To reiterate the school’s position on innovation and creativity.
