Today these circumstances are causing a hurdle in the conventional methods of teaching. This ongoing pandemic has confined the multiple ways our Education System used to work. It has affected everything be it learning process, teaching process and conducting examinations for students.\r\n\r\nFortunately, we have solution to some of the problems. Remote learning is essential to maintain social distancing as we cannot go out. So online classroom software is one way through which the <b>students</b> can reconnect with their respective <b>teachers</b> and start again from where they had left.

It is an unconventional approach for teaching yet the most effective and needed right now. So, it is quite obvious that not many teachers are aware of how to work efficiently in the virtual platform. But still teachers willing to perform their duties would find a solution to their problems. The biggest challenge for them is to ensure that the students are not losing their interest in such times. The question here is that how would they get to know about it? The answer lies in the word attendance. Yes, to deal with this major problem teachers should keep a regular check on <b><a style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://www.vidyalayaschoolsoftware.com/blog/2018/11/student-attendance-management-system-teachers-efficiency-interrelated" target="blank">student attendance.</a></b>\r\n\r\nNow to deal with this problem how does one have to work? As ensuring <b>student attendance</b> is again a key challenge faced by the teachers.\r\n<h4><b>Following are some tips which will help the teachers to keep a check on student attendance regularly.</b></h4>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h4><strong>1) Manual or Classic method of Attendance –</strong></h4>\r\nTeachers can use this golden method even in the virtual world to make sure that the students are attending classes daily. They can maintain a register just like old times for the attendance. This old way of taking the attendance when all the students have come online will help the teachers to know whether the students are taking classes seriously or not. But the classic way comes with its own disadvantages. And one of them is uncertainty even after taking the attendance. Because students would give their attendance and might leave in the middle without the teacher even noticing it. The number of students may get comparatively high then one can manage so it might not even come to notice of the teachers that students have dropped out of the ongoing class.\r\n<h4><strong>2) Taking Quiz or Poll after the Class – </strong></h4>\r\nThis is perhaps the easiest way through which a teacher can confirm student participation on regular basis. So, after taking a class teacher can prepare a short quiz or poll of the same topic that they have taught in their respective classes. Taking quizzes and polls would help the teachers to know who all were present throughout the class and who all attended only for attendance purpose. As those who had left early would not know what to answer in the quiz. This then would show the interest of students on studies during this time. This method is very effective and simple to use.\r\n<h4><strong>3) Giving Assignments/Projects to Students – </strong></h4>\r\nThis is again a good way to engage students with studies and ensure their participation. Giving assignments and projects would leave no option for the students but attend classes so that they can complete their work. It would be great if the teachers give timed assignments and projects as it will put a responsibility in the shoulder of the students. Continuously reminding them that their negligence towards their work would affect their annual performance will also bind them to take their classes regularly. Vidyalaya online classroom software provides you with an Mobile Application for the easy transfer of assignments &amp; submission as well.\r\n<h4><strong>4) Organizing Discussions During Or After The Class – </strong></h4>\r\nDiscussions will help to ensure two thingsstudent performance and their participation or attendance. During online sessions it is very easy for the students to leave the session in the middle because of countless factors. And just like the way it becomes easy for the students in a similar way it becomes hard for teachers to maintain discipline. Because of no strict rules for attendance. So timely discussions will help the teachers to gain idea about student attendance thus ensuring the interest as well. Constant reminder to prepare for the discussions would also bound them to take their classes.\r\n<h4><strong>5) Asking Questions Randomly During Class –</strong></h4>\r\nThis is again a very easy method to engage students in a class. Asking questions to the students would reveal the truth of the students and give teacher a good idea of their participation. But instead of asking questions in a particular order, a teacher should ask random students about the topic being taught in the class. This would help to know the attendance of the students also. It will also restrict the students to abandon their lecture in the middle because of the fear of being caught red handed.\r\n<h4><strong>6) Video Calls with The Students If Possible – </strong></h4>\r\nThis method could be used but only if the internet bandwidth is very strong. After all the students have come online for the class, the teachers can ask the students to keep their cameras on so that the teachers can see the faces of students. Also, they can check their activities throughout the class. But as earlier mentioned this is next to impossible because of numerous reasons. The only possibility for this to happen is when there are no technical issues and the connectivity is strong. Also, it is important to mention that some of the students might not even have access to internet at all.\r\n<h4><strong>7) Keeping In Touch With The Parents Of Students –</strong></h4>\r\nMy personal opinion is that this method should be the priority of the teachers. Generally, parents are interested to know the activities done in the schools and colleges. Academic work of their children. So, the teachers can use this as an advantage. Specially at this time they would be even more curious to know about the things being taught to their kids. So, informing them about the assignments, activities and projects that are being assigned to the students would help the teacher as parents unknowingly will share the load. Putting the classes and their timings will also prove to be very fruitful. As the parents would keep a regular check on their kids especially those who are living with their parents. The parents do not have to be totally involved as in they do not have to sit with their child when the class is going on but yes, they can make sure that their child is working and doing his work on time.\r\n<h4><strong>CONCLUSION : </strong></h4>\r\nAlthough there are various ways to engage students even through remote learning process but it is not fair and necessary to use them. As there are many schools and colleges who are introducing new criteria for marking and testing student performance. Because it is unfair that unfortunately there are many students who do not have internet accessibility at their homes. And there are many who cannot afford it. So, judging them on the basis of attendance when they cannot even take classes due to genuine reasons is wrong.\r\n\r\nBriefly it is a temporary way and we need to find a permanent way so that all the students are being judged without any problems and totally on their performance basis. A solution where the right of education is reached to every student. Till then virtual learning process and some of the ways to track student attendance is the only way we have and can use.\r\n\r\nVidyalaya online classroom software helps Trustee &amp; Principals to keep an eye on the virtual\r\nclassroom &amp; easily track the student’s attendance through the software.', 'Quick tips to track attendance using Online Classroom Software', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'quick-tips-to-track-attendance-using-online-classroom-software', '', '', '2020-10-27 19:04:22', '2020-10-27 13:34:22', '', 0, 'http://www.vidyalayaschoolsoftware.com/blog/?p=2420', 0, 'post', '', 0),

The question here is that how would they get to know about it? The answer lies in the word attendance. Yes, to deal with this major problem teachers should keep a regular check on student attendance.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Now to deal with this problem how does one have to work? As ensuring student attendance is again a key challenge faced by the teachers.</p>\r\n\r\n<pstyle="color:#143853;" ><b>Following are some tips which will help the teachers to keep a check on student attendance regularly.</b></p>\r\n\r\n<strong>1) Manual or Classic method of Attendance –</strong> Teachers can use this golden method even in the virtual world to make sure that the students are attending classes daily. They can maintain a register just like old times for the attendance. This old way of taking the attendance when all the students have come online will help the teachers to know whether the students are taking classes seriously or not. But the classic way comes with its own disadvantages. And one of them is uncertainty even after taking the attendance. Because students would give their attendance and might leave in the middle without the teacher even noticing it. The number of students may get comparatively high then one can manage so it might not even come to notice of the teachers that students have dropped out of the ongoing class.\r\n\r\n<strong>2) Taking Quiz or Poll after the Class – </strong>This is perhaps the easiest way through which a teacher\r\ncan confirm student participation on regular basis. So, after taking a class teacher can prepare a short quiz or poll of the same topic that they have taught in their respective classes. Taking quizzes and polls would help the teachers to know who all were present throughout the class and who all attended only for attendance purpose. As those who had left early would not know what to answer in the quiz. This then would show the interest of students on studies during this time. This method is very effective and simple to use.\r\n\r\n<strong>3) Giving Assignments/Projects to Students – </strong> This is again a good way to engage students with\r\nstudies and ensure their participation. Giving assignments and projects would leave no option for the students but attend classes so that they can complete their work. It would be great if the teachers give timed assignments and projects as it will put a responsibility in the shoulder of the students. Continuously reminding them that their negligence towards their work would affect their annual performance will also bind them to take their classes regularly. Vidyalaya online classroom software provides you with an Mobile Application for the easy transfer of\r\nassignments & submission as well.\r\n\r\n<strong>4) Organizing Discussions During Or After The Class – </strong>Discussions will help to ensure two thingsstudent performance and their participation or attendance. During online sessions it is very easy for the students to leave the session in the middle because of countless factors. And just like the way it becomes easy for the students in a similar way it becomes hard for teachers to maintain discipline. Because of no strict rules for attendance. So timely discussions will help the teachers to gain idea about student attendance thus ensuring the interest as well. Constant reminder to prepare for the discussions would also bound them to take their classes.\r\n\r\n<strong>5) Asking Questions Randomly During Class –</strong> This is again a very easy method to engage students in a class. Asking questions to the students would reveal the truth of the students and give teacher a good idea of their participation. But instead of asking questions in a particular order, a teacher should ask random students about the topic being taught in the class. This would help to know the attendance of the students also. It will also restrict the students to abandon their lecture in the middle because of the fear of being caught red handed.\r\n\r\n<strong>6) Video Calls with The Students If Possible – </strong>This method could be used but only if the internet\r\nbandwidth is very strong. After all the students have come online for the class, the teachers can ask the students to keep their cameras on so that the teachers can see the faces of students. Also, they can check their activities throughout the class. But as earlier mentioned this is next to impossible because of numerous reasons. The only possibility for this to happen is when there are no technical issues and the connectivity is strong. Also, it is important to mention that some of the students might not even have access to internet at all.\r\n\r\n<strong>7) Keeping In Touch With The Parents Of Students –</strong> My personal opinion is that this method\r\nshould be the priority of the teachers. Generally, parents are interested to know the activities done in the schools and colleges. Academic work of their children. So, the teachers can use this as an advantage. Specially at this time they would be even more curious to know about the things being taught to their kids. So, informing them about the assignments, activities and projects that are being assigned to the students would help the teacher as parents unknowingly will share the load.

The question here is that how would they get to know about it? The answer lies in the word attendance. Yes, to deal with this major problem teachers should keep a regular check on student attendance.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Now to deal with this problem how does one have to work? As ensuring student attendance is again a key challenge faced by the teachers.</p>\r\n\r\n<pstyle="color:#143853;" ><b>Following are some tips which will help the teachers to keep a check on student attendance regularly.</b></p>\r\n\r\n<strong>1) Manual or Classic method of Attendance –</strong> Teachers can use this golden method even in the virtual world to make sure that the students are attending classes daily. They can maintain a register just like old times for the attendance. This old way of taking the attendance when all the students have come online will help the teachers to know whether the students are taking classes seriously or not. But the classic way comes with its own disadvantages. And one of them is uncertainty even after taking the attendance. Because students would give their attendance and might leave in the middle without the teacher even noticing it. The number of students may get comparatively high then one can manage so it might not even come to notice of the teachers that students have dropped out of the ongoing class.\r\n\r\n<strong>2) Taking Quiz or Poll after the Class – </strong>This is perhaps the easiest way through which a teacher\r\ncan confirm student participation on regular basis. So, after taking a class teacher can prepare a short quiz or poll of the same topic that they have taught in their respective classes. Taking quizzes and polls would help the teachers to know who all were present throughout the class and who all attended only for attendance purpose. As those who had left early would not know what to answer in the quiz. This then would show the interest of students on studies during this time. This method is very effective and simple to use.\r\n\r\n<strong>3) Giving Assignments/Projects to Students – </strong> This is again a good way to engage students with\r\nstudies and ensure their participation. Giving assignments and projects would leave no option for the students but attend classes so that they can complete their work. It would be great if the teachers give timed assignments and projects as it will put a responsibility in the shoulder of the students. Continuously reminding them that their negligence towards their work would affect their annual performance will also bind them to take their classes regularly. Vidyalaya online classroom software provides you with an Mobile Application for the easy transfer of\r\nassignments & submission as well.\r\n\r\n<strong>4) Organizing Discussions During Or After The Class – </strong>Discussions will help to ensure two thingsstudent performance and their participation or attendance. During online sessions it is very easy for the students to leave the session in the middle because of countless factors. And just like the way it becomes easy for the students in a similar way it becomes hard for teachers to maintain discipline. Because of no strict rules for attendance. So timely discussions will help the teachers to gain idea about student attendance thus ensuring the interest as well. Constant reminder to prepare for the discussions would also bound them to take their classes.\r\n\r\n<strong>5) Asking Questions Randomly During Class –</strong> This is again a very easy method to engage students in a class. Asking questions to the students would reveal the truth of the students and give teacher a good idea of their participation. But instead of asking questions in a particular order, a teacher should ask random students about the topic being taught in the class. This would help to know the attendance of the students also. It will also restrict the students to abandon their lecture in the middle because of the fear of being caught red handed.\r\n\r\n<strong>6)Video Calls with The Students If Possible – </strong> This method could be used but only if the internet\r\nbandwidth is very strong. After all the students have come online for the class, the teachers can ask the students to keep their cameras on so that the teachers can see the faces of students. Also, they can check their activities throughout the class. But as earlier mentioned this is next to impossible because of numerous reasons. The only possibility for this to happen is when there are no technical issues and the connectivity is strong. Also, it is important to mention that some of the students might not even have access to internet at all.\r\n\r\n<strong>7) Keeping In Touch With The Parents Of Students –</strong> My personal opinion is that this method should be the priority of the teachers. Generally, parents are interested to know the activities done in the schools and colleges. Academic work of their children. So, the teachers can use this as an advantage. Specially at this time they would be even more curious to know about the things being taught to their kids. So, informing them about the assignments, activities and projects that are being assigned to the students would help the teacher as parents unknowingly will share the load. Putting the classes and their timings will also prove to be very fruitful. As the parents would keep a regular check on their kids especially those who are living with their parents. The parents do not have to be totally involved as in they do not have to sit with their child when the class is going on but yes, they can make sure that their child is working and doing his work on time.\r\n\r\n<strong>CONCLUSION : </strong>\r\nAlthough there are various ways to engage students even through remote learning process but it is not fair and necessary to use them. As there are many schools and colleges who are introducing new criteria for marking and testing student performance. Because it is unfair that unfortunately there are many students who do not have internet accessibility at their homes. And there are many who cannot afford it. So, judging them on the basis of attendance when they cannot even take classes due to genuine reasons is wrong.\r\n', 'Quick tips to track attendance using Online Classroom Software', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '2420-revision-v1', '', '', '2020-07-10 11:37:56', '2020-07-10 06:07:56', '', 2420, 'http://www.vidyalayaschoolsoftware.com/blog/2020/07/2420-revision-v1', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

The question here is that how would they get to know about it? The answer lies in the word attendance. Yes, to deal with this major problem teachers should keep a regular check on student attendance.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Now to deal with this problem how does one have to work? As ensuring student attendance is again a key challenge faced by the teachers.</p>\r\n\r\n<pstyle="color:#143853;" ><b>Following are some tips which will help the teachers to keep a check on student attendance regularly.</b></p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>1) Manual or Classic method of Attendance –</strong></h3>Teachers can use this golden method even in the virtual world to make sure that the students are attending classes daily. They can maintain a register just like old times for the attendance. This old way of taking the attendance when all the students have come online will help the teachers to know whether the students are taking classes seriously or not. But the classic way comes with its own disadvantages. And one of them is uncertainty even after taking the attendance. Because students would give their attendance and might leave in the middle without the teacher even noticing it. The number of students may get comparatively high then one can manage so it might not even come to notice of the teachers that students have dropped out of the ongoing class.\r\n\r\n<strong>2) Taking Quiz or Poll after the Class – </strong>This is perhaps the easiest way through which a teacher\r\ncan confirm student participation on regular basis. So, after taking a class teacher can prepare a short quiz or poll of the same topic that they have taught in their respective classes. Taking quizzes and polls would help the teachers to know who all were present throughout the class and who all attended only for attendance purpose. As those who had left early would not know what to answer in the quiz. This then would show the interest of students on studies during this time. This method is very effective and simple to use.\r\n\r\n<strong>3) Giving Assignments/Projects to Students – </strong> This is again a good way to engage students with\r\nstudies and ensure their participation. Giving assignments and projects would leave no option for the students but attend classes so that they can complete their work. It would be great if the teachers give timed assignments and projects as it will put a responsibility in the shoulder of the students. Continuously reminding them that their negligence towards their work would affect their annual performance will also bind them to take their classes regularly. Vidyalaya online classroom software provides you with an Mobile Application for the easy transfer of\r\nassignments & submission as well.\r\n\r\n<strong>4) Organizing Discussions During Or After The Class – </strong>Discussions will help to ensure two thingsstudent performance and their participation or attendance. During online sessions it is very easy for the students to leave the session in the middle because of countless factors. And just like the way it becomes easy for the students in a similar way it becomes hard for teachers to maintain discipline. Because of no strict rules for attendance. So timely discussions will help the teachers to gain idea about student attendance thus ensuring the interest as well. Constant reminder to prepare for the discussions would also bound them to take their classes.\r\n\r\n<strong>5) Asking Questions Randomly During Class –</strong> This is again a very easy method to engage students in a class. Asking questions to the students would reveal the truth of the students and give teacher a good idea of their participation. But instead of asking questions in a particular order, a teacher should ask random students about the topic being taught in the class. This would help to know the attendance of the students also. It will also restrict the students to abandon their lecture in the middle because of the fear of being caught red handed.\r\n\r\n<strong>6)Video Calls with The Students If Possible – </strong> This method could be used but only if the internet\r\nbandwidth is very strong. After all the students have come online for the class, the teachers can ask the students to keep their cameras on so that the teachers can see the faces of students. Also, they can check their activities throughout the class. But as earlier mentioned this is next to impossible because of numerous reasons. The only possibility for this to happen is when there are no technical issues and the connectivity is strong. Also, it is important to mention that some of the students might not even have access to internet at all.\r\n\r\n<strong>7) Keeping In Touch With The Parents Of Students –</strong> My personal opinion is that this method should be the priority of the teachers. Generally, parents are interested to know the activities done in the schools and colleges. Academic work of their children. So, the teachers can use this as an advantage. Specially at this time they would be even more curious to know about the things being taught to their kids. So, informing them about the assignments, activities and projects that are being assigned to the students would help the teacher as parents unknowingly will share the load. Putting the classes and their timings will also prove to be very fruitful. As the parents would keep a regular check on their kids especially those who are living with their parents. The parents do not have to be totally involved as in they do not have to sit with their child when the class is going on but yes, they can make sure that their child is working and doing his work on time.\r\n\r\n<strong>CONCLUSION : </strong>\r\nAlthough there are various ways to engage students even through remote learning process but it is not fair and necessary to use them. As there are many schools and colleges who are introducing new criteria for marking and testing student performance. Because it is unfair that unfortunately there are many students who do not have internet accessibility at their homes. And there are many who cannot afford it. So, judging them on the basis of attendance when they cannot even take classes due to genuine reasons is wrong.\r\n', 'Quick tips to track attendance using Online Classroom Software', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '2420-revision-v1', '', '', '2020-07-10 11:57:20', '2020-07-10 06:27:20', '', 2420, 'http://www.vidyalayaschoolsoftware.com/blog/2020/07/2420-revision-v1', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

It is an unconventional approach for teaching yet the most effective and needed right now. So, it is quite obvious that not many teachers are aware of how to work efficiently in the virtual platform. But still teachers willing to perform their duties would find a solution to their problems. The biggest challenge for them is to ensure that the students are not losing their interest in such times. The question here is that how would they get to know about it? The answer lies in the word attendance. Yes, to deal with this major problem teachers should keep a regular check on <b><a style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://www.vidyalayaschoolsoftware.com/blog/2018/11/student-attendance-management-system-teachers-efficiency-interrelated" target="blank">student attendance.</a></b>\n\nNow to deal with this problem how does one have to work? As ensuring <b>student attendance</b> is again a key challenge faced by the teachers.\n<h4><b>Following are some tips which will help the teachers to keep a check on student attendance regularly.</b></h4>\n&nbsp;\n<h4><strong>1) Manual or Classic method of Attendance –</strong></h4>\nTeachers can use this golden method even in the virtual world to make sure that the students are attending classes daily. They can maintain a register just like old times for the attendance. This old way of taking the attendance when all the students have come online will help the teachers to know whether the students are taking classes seriously or not. But the classic way comes with its own disadvantages. And one of them is uncertainty even after taking the attendance. Because students would give their attendance and might leave in the middle without the teacher even noticing it. The number of students may get comparatively high then one can manage so it might not even come to notice of the teachers that students have dropped out of the ongoing class.\n<h4><strong>2) Taking Quiz or Poll after the Class – </strong></h4>\nThis is perhaps the easiest way through which a teacher can confirm student participation on regular basis. So, after taking a class teacher can prepare a short quiz or poll of the same topic that they have taught in their respective classes. Taking quizzes and polls would help the teachers to know who all were present throughout the class and who all attended only for attendance purpose. As those who had left early would not know what to answer in the quiz. This then would show the interest of students on studies during this time. This method is very effective and simple to use.\n<h4><strong>3) Giving Assignments/Projects to Students – </strong></h4>\nThis is again a good way to engage students with studies and ensure their participation. Giving assignments and projects would leave no option for the students but attend classes so that they can complete their work. It would be great if the teachers give timed assignments and projects as it will put a responsibility in the shoulder of the students. Continuously reminding them that their negligence towards their work would affect their annual performance will also bind them to take their classes regularly. Vidyalaya online classroom software provides you with an Mobile Application for the easy transfer of assignments &amp; submission as well.\n<h4><strong>4) Organizing Discussions During Or After The Class – </strong></h4>\nDiscussions will help to ensure two thingsstudent performance and their participation or attendance. During online sessions it is very easy for the students to leave the session in the middle because of countless factors. And just like the way it becomes easy for the students in a similar way it becomes hard for teachers to maintain discipline. Because of no strict rules for attendance. So timely discussions will help the teachers to gain idea about student attendance thus ensuring the interest as well. Constant reminder to prepare for the discussions would also bound them to take their classes.\n<h4><strong>5) Asking Questions Randomly During Class –</strong></h4>\nThis is again a very easy method to engage students in a class. Asking questions to the students would reveal the truth of the students and give teacher a good idea of their participation. But instead of asking questions in a particular order, a teacher should ask random students about the topic being taught in the class. This would help to know the attendance of the students also. It will also restrict the students to abandon their lecture in the middle because of the fear of being caught red handed.\n<h4><strong>6) Video Calls with The Students If Possible – </strong></h4>\nThis method could be used but only if the internet bandwidth is very strong. After all the students have come online for the class, the teachers can ask the students to keep their cameras on so that the teachers can see the faces of students. Also, they can check their activities throughout the class. But as earlier mentioned this is next to impossible because of numerous reasons. The only possibility for this to happen is when there are no technical issues and the connectivity is strong. Also, it is important to mention that some of the students might not even have access to internet at all.\n<h4><strong>7) Keeping In Touch With The Parents Of Students –</strong></h4>\nMy personal opinion is that this method should be the priority of the teachers. Generally, parents are interested to know the activities done in the schools and colleges. Academic work of their children. So, the teachers can use this as an advantage. Specially at this time they would be even more curious to know about the things being taught to their kids. So, informing them about the assignments, activities and projects that are being assigned to the students would help the teacher as parents unknowingly will share the load. Putting the classes and their timings will also prove to be very fruitful. As the parents would keep a regular check on their kids especially those who are living with their parents. The parents do not have to be totally involved as in they do not have to sit with their child when the class is going on but yes, they can make sure that their child is working and doing his work on time.\n<h4><strong>CONCLUSION : </strong></h4>\nAlthough there are various ways to engage students even through remote learning process but it is not fair and necessary to use them. As there are many schools and colleges who are introducing new criteria for marking and testing student performance. Because it is unfair that unfortunately there are many students who do not have internet accessibility at their homes. And there are many who cannot afford it. So, judging them on the basis of attendance when they cannot even take classes due to genuine reasons is wrong.\n\nBriefly it is a temporary way and we need to find a permanent way so that all the students are being judged without any problems and totally on their performance basis. A solution where the right of education is reached to every student.

The question here is that how would they get to know about it? The answer lies in the word attendance. Yes, to deal with this major problem teachers should keep a regular check on student attendance.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Now to deal with this problem how does one have to work? As ensuring student attendance is again a key challenge faced by the teachers.</p>\r\n\r\n<pstyle="color:#143853;" ><b>Following are some tips which will help the teachers to keep a check on student attendance regularly.</b></p>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>1) Manual or Classic method of Attendance –</strong></h4><br>Teachers can use this golden method even in the virtual world to make sure that the students are attending classes daily. They can maintain a register just like old times for the attendance. This old way of taking the attendance when all the students have come online will help the teachers to know whether the students are taking classes seriously or not. But the classic way comes with its own disadvantages. And one of them is uncertainty even after taking the attendance. Because students would give their attendance and might leave in the middle without the teacher even noticing it. The number of students may get comparatively high then one can manage so it might not even come to notice of the teachers that students have dropped out of the ongoing class.\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>2) Taking Quiz or Poll after the Class – </strong></h4><br>\r\nThis is perhaps the easiest way through which a teacher can confirm student participation on regular basis. So, after taking a class teacher can prepare a short quiz or poll of the same topic that they have taught in their respective classes. Taking quizzes and polls would help the teachers to know who all were present throughout the class and who all attended only for attendance purpose. As those who had left early would not know what to answer in the quiz. This then would show the interest of students on studies during this time. This method is very effective and simple to use.\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>3) Giving Assignments/Projects to Students – </strong></h4><br>\r\nThis is again a good way to engage students with studies and ensure their participation. Giving assignments and projects would leave no option for the students but attend classes so that they can complete their work. It would be great if the teachers give timed assignments and projects as it will put a responsibility in the shoulder of the students. Continuously reminding them that their negligence towards their work would affect their annual performance will also bind them to take their classes regularly. Vidyalaya online classroom software provides you with an Mobile Application for the easy transfer of assignments & submission as well.\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>4) Organizing Discussions During Or After The Class – </strong></h4><br>Discussions will help to ensure two thingsstudent performance and their participation or attendance. During online sessions it is very easy for the students to leave the session in the middle because of countless factors. And just like the way it becomes easy for the students in a similar way it becomes hard for teachers to maintain discipline. Because of no strict rules for attendance. So timely discussions will help the teachers to gain idea about student attendance thus ensuring the interest as well. Constant reminder to prepare for the discussions would also bound them to take their classes.\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>5) Asking Questions Randomly During Class –</strong></h4><br>This is again a very easy method to engage students in a class. Asking questions to the students would reveal the truth of the students and give teacher a good idea of their participation. But instead of asking questions in a particular order, a teacher should ask random students about the topic being taught in the class. This would help to know the attendance of the students also. It will also restrict the students to abandon their lecture in the middle because of the fear of being caught red handed.\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>6)Video Calls with The Students If Possible – </strong></h4><br>This method could be used but only if the internet bandwidth is very strong. After all the students have come online for the class, the teachers can ask the students to keep their cameras on so that the teachers can see the faces of students. Also, they can check their activities throughout the class. But as earlier mentioned this is next to impossible because of numerous reasons. The only possibility for this to happen is when there are no technical issues and the connectivity is strong. Also, it is important to mention that some of the students might not even have access to internet at all.\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>7) Keeping In Touch With The Parents Of Students –</strong></h4><br>My personal opinion is that this method should be the priority of the teachers. Generally, parents are interested to know the activities done in the schools and colleges. Academic work of their children. So, the teachers can use this as an advantage. Specially at this time they would be even more curious to know about the things being taught to their kids. So, informing them about the assignments, activities and projects that are being assigned to the students would help the teacher as parents unknowingly will share the load. Putting the classes and their timings will also prove to be very fruitful. As the parents would keep a regular check on their kids especially those who are living with their parents. The parents do not have to be totally involved as in they do not have to sit with their child when the class is going on but yes, they can make sure that their child is working and doing his work on time.\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>CONCLUSION : </strong></h4>\r\nAlthough there are various ways to engage students even through remote learning process but it is not fair and necessary to use them. As there are many schools and colleges who are introducing new criteria for marking and testing student performance. Because it is unfair that unfortunately there are many students who do not have internet accessibility at their homes. And there are many who cannot afford it.

It is an unconventional approach for teaching yet the most effective and needed right now. So, it is quite obvious that not many teachers are aware of how to work efficiently in the virtual platform. But still teachers willing to perform their duties would find a solution to their problems. The biggest challenge for them is to ensure that the students are not losing their interest in such times. The question here is that how would they get to know about it? The answer lies in the word attendance. Yes, to deal with this major problem teachers should keep a regular check on student attendance.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Now to deal with this problem how does one have to work? As ensuring student attendance is again a key challenge faced by the teachers.</p>\r\n\r\n<h4><p style="color:#143853;"><b>Following are some tips which will help the teachers to keep a check on student attendance regularly.</b></p></h4>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>1) Manual or Classic method of Attendance –</strong></h4><br>Teachers can use this golden method even in the virtual world to make sure that the students are attending classes daily. They can maintain a register just like old times for the attendance. This old way of taking the attendance when all the students have come online will help the teachers to know whether the students are taking classes seriously or not. But the classic way comes with its own disadvantages. And one of them is uncertainty even after taking the attendance. Because students would give their attendance and might leave in the middle without the teacher even noticing it. The number of students may get comparatively high then one can manage so it might not even come to notice of the teachers that students have dropped out of the ongoing class.\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>2) Taking Quiz or Poll after the Class – </strong></h4><br>\r\nThis is perhaps the easiest way through which a teacher can confirm student participation on regular basis. So, after taking a class teacher can prepare a short quiz or poll of the same topic that they have taught in their respective classes. Taking quizzes and polls would help the teachers to know who all were present throughout the class and who all attended only for attendance purpose. As those who had left early would not know what to answer in the quiz. This then would show the interest of students on studies during this time. This method is very effective and simple to use.\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>3) Giving Assignments/Projects to Students – </strong></h4><br>\r\nThis is again a good way to engage students with studies and ensure their participation. Giving assignments and projects would leave no option for the students but attend classes so that they can complete their work. It would be great if the teachers give timed assignments and projects as it will put a responsibility in the shoulder of the students. Continuously reminding them that their negligence towards their work would affect their annual performance will also bind them to take their classes regularly. Vidyalaya online classroom software provides you with an Mobile Application for the easy transfer of assignments & submission as well.\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>4) Organizing Discussions During Or After The Class – </strong></h4><br>Discussions will help to ensure two thingsstudent performance and their participation or attendance. During online sessions it is very easy for the students to leave the session in the middle because of countless factors. And just like the way it becomes easy for the students in a similar way it becomes hard for teachers to maintain discipline. Because of no strict rules for attendance. So timely discussions will help the teachers to gain idea about student attendance thus ensuring the interest as well. Constant reminder to prepare for the discussions would also bound them to take their classes.\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>5) Asking Questions Randomly During Class –</strong></h4><br>This is again a very easy method to engage students in a class. Asking questions to the students would reveal the truth of the students and give teacher a good idea of their participation. But instead of asking questions in a particular order, a teacher should ask random students about the topic being taught in the class. This would help to know the attendance of the students also. It will also restrict the students to abandon their lecture in the middle because of the fear of being caught red handed.\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>6)Video Calls with The Students If Possible – </strong></h4><br>This method could be used but only if the internet bandwidth is very strong. After all the students have come online for the class, the teachers can ask the students to keep their cameras on so that the teachers can see the faces of students. Also, they can check their activities throughout the class. But as earlier mentioned this is next to impossible because of numerous reasons. The only possibility for this to happen is when there are no technical issues and the connectivity is strong. Also, it is important to mention that some of the students might not even have access to internet at all.\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>7) Keeping In Touch With The Parents Of Students –</strong></h4><br>My personal opinion is that this method should be the priority of the teachers. Generally, parents are interested to know the activities done in the schools and colleges. Academic work of their children. So, the teachers can use this as an advantage. Specially at this time they would be even more curious to know about the things being taught to their kids. So, informing them about the assignments, activities and projects that are being assigned to the students would help the teacher as parents unknowingly will share the load. Putting the classes and their timings will also prove to be very fruitful. As the parents would keep a regular check on their kids especially those who are living with their parents.

This old way of taking the attendance when all the students have come online will help the teachers to know whether the students are taking classes seriously or not. But the classic way comes with its own disadvantages. And one of them is uncertainty even after taking the attendance. Because students would give their attendance and might leave in the middle without the teacher even noticing it. The number of students may get comparatively high then one can manage so it might not even come to notice of the teachers that students have dropped out of the ongoing class.\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>2) Taking Quiz or Poll after the Class – </strong></h4><br>\r\nThis is perhaps the easiest way through which a teacher can confirm student participation on regular basis. So, after taking a class teacher can prepare a short quiz or poll of the same topic that they have taught in their respective classes. Taking quizzes and polls would help the teachers to know who all were present throughout the class and who all attended only for attendance purpose. As those who had left early would not know what to answer in the quiz. This then would show the interest of students on studies during this time. This method is very effective and simple to use.\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>3) Giving Assignments/Projects to Students – </strong></h4><br>\r\nThis is again a good way to engage students with studies and ensure their participation. Giving assignments and projects would leave no option for the students but attend classes so that they can complete their work. It would be great if the teachers give timed assignments and projects as it will put a responsibility in the shoulder of the students. Continuously reminding them that their negligence towards their work would affect their annual performance will also bind them to take their classes regularly. Vidyalaya online classroom software provides you with an Mobile Application for the easy transfer of assignments & submission as well.\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>4) Organizing Discussions During Or After The Class – </strong></h4><br>Discussions will help to ensure two thingsstudent performance and their participation or attendance. During online sessions it is very easy for the students to leave the session in the middle because of countless factors. And just like the way it becomes easy for the students in a similar way it becomes hard for teachers to maintain discipline. Because of no strict rules for attendance. So timely discussions will help the teachers to gain idea about student attendance thus ensuring the interest as well. Constant reminder to prepare for the discussions would also bound them to take their classes.\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>5) Asking Questions Randomly During Class –</strong></h4><br>This is again a very easy method to engage students in a class. Asking questions to the students would reveal the truth of the students and give teacher a good idea of their participation. But instead of asking questions in a particular order, a teacher should ask random students about the topic being taught in the class. This would help to know the attendance of the students also. It will also restrict the students to abandon their lecture in the middle because of the fear of being caught red handed.\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>6)Video Calls with The Students If Possible – </strong></h4><br>This method could be used but only if the internet bandwidth is very strong. After all the students have come online for the class, the teachers can ask the students to keep their cameras on so that the teachers can see the faces of students. Also, they can check their activities throughout the class. But as earlier mentioned this is next to impossible because of numerous reasons. The only possibility for this to happen is when there are no technical issues and the connectivity is strong. Also, it is important to mention that some of the students might not even have access to internet at all.\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>7) Keeping In Touch With The Parents Of Students –</strong></h4><br>My personal opinion is that this method should be the priority of the teachers. Generally, parents are interested to know the activities done in the schools and colleges. Academic work of their children. So, the teachers can use this as an advantage. Specially at this time they would be even more curious to know about the things being taught to their kids. So, informing them about the assignments, activities and projects that are being assigned to the students would help the teacher as parents unknowingly will share the load. Putting the classes and their timings will also prove to be very fruitful. As the parents would keep a regular check on their kids especially those who are living with their parents. The parents do not have to be totally involved as in they do not have to sit with their child when the class is going on but yes, they can make sure that their child is working and doing his work on time.\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>CONCLUSION : </strong></h4>\r\nAlthough there are various ways to engage students even through remote learning process but it is not fair and necessary to use them. As there are many schools and colleges who are introducing new criteria for marking and testing student performance. Because it is unfair that unfortunately there are many students who do not have internet accessibility at their homes. And there are many who cannot afford it. So, judging them on the basis of attendance when they cannot even take classes due to genuine reasons is wrong.\r\n', 'Quick tips to track attendance using Online Classroom Software', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '2420-revision-v1', '', '', '2020-07-10 12:40:46', '2020-07-10 07:10:46', '', 2420, 'http://www.vidyalayaschoolsoftware.com/blog/2020/07/2420-revision-v1', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

The question here is that how would they get to know about it? The answer lies in the word attendance. Yes, to deal with this major problem teachers should keep a regular check on student attendance.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Now to deal with this problem how does one have to work? As ensuring <b>student attendance</b> is again a key challenge faced by the teachers.</p>\r\n\r\n<p style="color:#143853;"><h4><b>Following are some tips which will help the teachers to keep a check on student attendance regularly.</h4></b></p>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>1) Manual or Classic method of Attendance –</strong></h4><br>Teachers can use this golden method even in the virtual world to make sure that the students are attending classes daily. They can maintain a register just like old times for the attendance. This old way of taking the attendance when all the students have come online will help the teachers to know whether the students are taking classes seriously or not. But the classic way comes with its own disadvantages. And one of them is uncertainty even after taking the attendance. Because students would give their attendance and might leave in the middle without the teacher even noticing it. The number of students may get comparatively high then one can manage so it might not even come to notice of the teachers that students have dropped out of the ongoing class.\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>2) Taking Quiz or Poll after the Class – </strong></h4><br>\r\nThis is perhaps the easiest way through which a teacher can confirm student participation on regular basis. So, after taking a class teacher can prepare a short quiz or poll of the same topic that they have taught in their respective classes. Taking quizzes and polls would help the teachers to know who all were present throughout the class and who all attended only for attendance purpose. As those who had left early would not know what to answer in the quiz. This then would show the interest of students on studies during this time. This method is very effective and simple to use.\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>3) Giving Assignments/Projects to Students – </strong></h4><br>\r\nThis is again a good way to engage students with studies and ensure their participation. Giving assignments and projects would leave no option for the students but attend classes so that they can complete their work. It would be great if the teachers give timed assignments and projects as it will put a responsibility in the shoulder of the students. Continuously reminding them that their negligence towards their work would affect their annual performance will also bind them to take their classes regularly. Vidyalaya online classroom software provides you with an Mobile Application for the easy transfer of assignments & submission as well.\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>4) Organizing Discussions During Or After The Class – </strong></h4><br>Discussions will help to ensure two thingsstudent performance and their participation or attendance. During online sessions it is very easy for the students to leave the session in the middle because of countless factors. And just like the way it becomes easy for the students in a similar way it becomes hard for teachers to maintain discipline. Because of no strict rules for attendance. So timely discussions will help the teachers to gain idea about student attendance thus ensuring the interest as well. Constant reminder to prepare for the discussions would also bound them to take their classes.\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>5) Asking Questions Randomly During Class –</strong></h4><br>This is again a very easy method to engage students in a class. Asking questions to the students would reveal the truth of the students and give teacher a good idea of their participation. But instead of asking questions in a particular order, a teacher should ask random students about the topic being taught in the class. This would help to know the attendance of the students also. It will also restrict the students to abandon their lecture in the middle because of the fear of being caught red handed.\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>6) Video Calls with The Students If Possible – </strong></h4><br>This method could be used but only if the internet bandwidth is very strong. After all the students have come online for the class, the teachers can ask the students to keep their cameras on so that the teachers can see the faces of students. Also, they can check their activities throughout the class. But as earlier mentioned this is next to impossible because of numerous reasons. The only possibility for this to happen is when there are no technical issues and the connectivity is strong. Also, it is important to mention that some of the students might not even have access to internet at all.\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>7) Keeping In Touch With The Parents Of Students –</strong></h4><br>My personal opinion is that this method should be the priority of the teachers. Generally, parents are interested to know the activities done in the schools and colleges. Academic work of their children. So, the teachers can use this as an advantage. Specially at this time they would be even more curious to know about the things being taught to their kids. So, informing them about the assignments, activities and projects that are being assigned to the students would help the teacher as parents unknowingly will share the load. Putting the classes and their timings will also prove to be very fruitful. As the parents would keep a regular check on their kids especially those who are living with their parents. The parents do not have to be totally involved as in they do not have to sit with their child when the class is going on but yes, they can make sure that their child is working and doing his work on time.\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>CONCLUSION : </strong></h4>\r\nAlthough there are various ways to engage students even through remote learning process but it is not fair and necessary to use them. As there are many schools and colleges who are introducing new criteria for marking and testing student performance. Because it is unfair that unfortunately there are many students who do not have internet accessibility at their homes. And there are many who cannot afford it. So, judging them on the basis of attendance when they cannot even take classes due to genuine reasons is wrong.\r\n', 'Quick tips to track attendance using Online Classroom Software', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '2420-revision-v1', '', '', '2020-07-10 13:27:48', '2020-07-10 07:57:48', '', 2420, 'http://www.vidyalayaschoolsoftware.com/blog/2020/07/2420-revision-v1', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

As ensuring <b>student attendance</b> is again a key challenge faced by the teachers.</p>\r\n\r\n<p style="color:#143853;"><h4><b>Following are some tips which will help the teachers to keep a check on student attendance regularly.</h4></b></p>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>1) Manual or Classic method of Attendance –</strong></h4><br>Teachers can use this golden method even in the virtual world to make sure that the students are attending classes daily. They can maintain a register just like old times for the attendance. This old way of taking the attendance when all the students have come online will help the teachers to know whether the students are taking classes seriously or not. But the classic way comes with its own disadvantages. And one of them is uncertainty even after taking the attendance. Because students would give their attendance and might leave in the middle without the teacher even noticing it. The number of students may get comparatively high then one can manage so it might not even come to notice of the teachers that students have dropped out of the ongoing class.\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>2) Taking Quiz or Poll after the Class – </strong></h4><br>\r\nThis is perhaps the easiest way through which a teacher can confirm student participation on regular basis. So, after taking a class teacher can prepare a short quiz or poll of the same topic that they have taught in their respective classes. Taking quizzes and polls would help the teachers to know who all were present throughout the class and who all attended only for attendance purpose. As those who had left early would not know what to answer in the quiz. This then would show the interest of students on studies during this time. This method is very effective and simple to use.\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>3) Giving Assignments/Projects to Students – </strong></h4><br>\r\nThis is again a good way to engage students with studies and ensure their participation. Giving assignments and projects would leave no option for the students but attend classes so that they can complete their work. It would be great if the teachers give timed assignments and projects as it will put a responsibility in the shoulder of the students. Continuously reminding them that their negligence towards their work would affect their annual performance will also bind them to take their classes regularly. Vidyalaya online classroom software provides you with an Mobile Application for the easy transfer of assignments & submission as well.\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>4) Organizing Discussions During Or After The Class – </strong></h4><br>Discussions will help to ensure two thingsstudent performance and their participation or attendance. During online sessions it is very easy for the students to leave the session in the middle because of countless factors. And just like the way it becomes easy for the students in a similar way it becomes hard for teachers to maintain discipline. Because of no strict rules for attendance. So timely discussions will help the teachers to gain idea about student attendance thus ensuring the interest as well. Constant reminder to prepare for the discussions would also bound them to take their classes.\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>5) Asking Questions Randomly During Class –</strong></h4><br>This is again a very easy method to engage students in a class. Asking questions to the students would reveal the truth of the students and give teacher a good idea of their participation. But instead of asking questions in a particular order, a teacher should ask random students about the topic being taught in the class. This would help to know the attendance of the students also. It will also restrict the students to abandon their lecture in the middle because of the fear of being caught red handed.\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>6) Video Calls with The Students If Possible – </strong></h4><br>This method could be used but only if the internet bandwidth is very strong. After all the students have come online for the class, the teachers can ask the students to keep their cameras on so that the teachers can see the faces of students. Also, they can check their activities throughout the class. But as earlier mentioned this is next to impossible because of numerous reasons. The only possibility for this to happen is when there are no technical issues and the connectivity is strong.

It requires your complete attention as it becomes hectic, tiring, chaotic, <!--moreRead more &gt;--> and is also very time-consuming. Being an owner of schools and dealing with everything is already a big task to achieve and it becomes even more difficult if you are using the conventional or legacy management systems to keep things moving. You need expertise in handling different or various areas in school management. As the school management works on many areas on a regular basis such as administration, academics, marketing, accounting, student attendance, admissions, and many others. It needs a system that can lighten the burden on their shoulders. Guess what? We have a solution. All these things can become ten times easier if schools start using school management software. And not only that but if you have a profit-making mindset then the marketing zone will also require your keen attention. So, this can also help you gain valuable insights in the form of reports and alerts. So, you can make big and right decisions to enhance your school business without facing many difficulties. \r\n\r\nSchool management software is basically a school ERP software, collecting all computer instructions designed to manage the day-to-day administrative tasks of schools. It brings all the information on a single or unified platform hence making the users more efficient and productive than they ever were.\r\n\r\nIt comes with many benefits and makes all the work extremely easy and comfortable. But most importantly, how does it benefit the owners to expand their school business?\r\n\r\n<b>The answer lies in six points. Below I have mentioned six ways which can help you in expanding your school business.</b></p>\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>1) Customization According to The Diverse Needs of Multiple Schools : </strong></h2><br>\r\nCustomizing according to the different demands put forward by the independent schools is one way through which the software helps you. The different schools might be dealing with different things at the same time. Also, they might operate on different systems and operations. So, they will need the software to fulfill all the requirements on time. The customized and properly structured software can manage and club all these requirements. This helps to maintain diversity while keeping the core structure the same in every school.\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>2) Marketing Automation Leading To Increase In Student Enrolment : </strong></h2><br>\r\nWith the new generation bringing all these advanced technologies and software into practice, the school management software is definitely a blessing for the schools. With different modules available with school management software, this can help the schools in increasing student enrolment every year.The software introduces new ways such as inquiry, application for registrations and online forms, etc. These ways along with the management by the admission team is a blockbuster marketing strategy. You can garner all important information to gain access to various admission procedures across campaigns and many more. You can, of course, use the information according to your convenience so that you can benefit your business.\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>3) Optimizing and Automatization of Human Resource Management To Improve The Efficiency Of The Staff : </strong></h2><br>\r\nWe all know that an institution like a school not only needs an owner but a team that can make it a success. It is managed by staff members and everyone contributes their best to make it a respectable and reputed institution. It is not hidden from us that teachers play a very crucial role in making a school business a super hit. Now it’s not necessary all the teachers will have equal skills. But with the help of school management software, you can analyze, judge, and generate reports on their respective performances. And then you can take the necessary measures to improve their working efficiency. This will enable them to work seriously as they will know that the administration is keeping an eye on them.\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>4) Opening Of New Digital Ready Schools : </strong></h2><br>\r\nAfter you have the customization solution in your hand, you are set to open digital-ready schools instantly. You just need to make a new instance of the school management software for your new school and arrange it according to the requirements of the school. Offline schools face the biggest challenge of coping with the change while transforming all their work into the online platforms as it is new and totally alien to some people. Since digital-ready schools will be online from day one so they will not face such problems. But the administration and the other staff still have to educate themselves on how to operate the software.\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>5) Automatization Of Academic Progress Of Students : </strong></h2><br>\r\nJust like the teachers'' data, the collection of student academic data can also help to enhance student performance. Comparing and introducing healthy competition will arise a sense of responsibility and compulsion in them to perform effectively. Also, analyzing their performance with how they respond to their teachers will help the administration to know their equation with their teachers. You can use this to take useful measures to build an even better and comfortable relationship between students and teachers. Also, with school management software monitoring students'' individual performance and progress also become very comfortable. School management software helps the school to make a positive and powerful impact on their students. Thus, the student progress report grows in number and so does your school business.\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>6) Utilization Of School Resources Effectively : </strong></h2>\r\nAll the schools have equipment and facilities which they use to fulfill multiple purposes on a day-to-day basis. The school management software will help you to maximize the use of your valuable assets. It allows you to make proper data of all your equipment and facilities. It provides you with the schedules for their use and even for maintenance and repair. This is how school management software helps you to optimize your resources so that you can convert them into long term investments There is so many School Management Software available in the market today.

Today these circumstances are causing a hurdle in the conventional methods of teaching. This ongoing pandemic has confined the multiple ways our Education System used to work. It has affected everything be it learning process, teaching process and conducting examinations for students.\r\n\r\nFortunately, we have solution to some of the problems. Remote learning is essential to maintain social distancing as we cannot go out. So online classroom software is one way through which the <b>students</b> can reconnect with their respective <b>teachers</b> and start again from where they had left.

It is an unconventional approach for teaching yet the most effective and needed right now. So, it is quite obvious that not many teachers are aware of how to work efficiently in the virtual platform. But still teachers willing to perform their duties would find a solution to their problems. The biggest challenge for them is to ensure that the students are not losing their interest in such times. The question here is that how would they get to know about it? The answer lies in the word attendance. Yes, to deal with this major problem teachers should keep a regular check on <b><a style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://www.vidyalayaschoolsoftware.com/blog/2018/11/student-attendance-management-system-teachers-efficiency-interrelated" target="blank">student attendance.</a></b>\r\n\r\nNow to deal with this problem how does one have to work? As ensuring <b>student attendance</b> is again a key challenge faced by the teachers.\r\n<h4><b>Following are some tips which will help the teachers to keep a check on student attendance regularly.</b></h4>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h4><strong>1) Manual or Classic method of Attendance –</strong></h4>\r\nTeachers can use this golden method even in the virtual world to make sure that the students are attending classes daily. They can maintain a register just like old times for the attendance. This old way of taking the attendance when all the students have come online will help the teachers to know whether the students are taking classes seriously or not. But the classic way comes with its own disadvantages. And one of them is uncertainty even after taking the attendance. Because students would give their attendance and might leave in the middle without the teacher even noticing it. The number of students may get comparatively high then one can manage so it might not even come to notice of the teachers that students have dropped out of the ongoing class.\r\n<h4><strong>2) Taking Quiz or Poll after the Class – </strong></h4>\r\nThis is perhaps the easiest way through which a teacher can confirm student participation on regular basis. So, after taking a class teacher can prepare a short quiz or poll of the same topic that they have taught in their respective classes. Taking quizzes and polls would help the teachers to know who all were present throughout the class and who all attended only for attendance purpose. As those who had left early would not know what to answer in the quiz. This then would show the interest of students on studies during this time. This method is very effective and simple to use.\r\n<h4><strong>3) Giving Assignments/Projects to Students – </strong></h4>\r\nThis is again a good way to engage students with studies and ensure their participation. Giving assignments and projects would leave no option for the students but attend classes so that they can complete their work. It would be great if the teachers give timed assignments and projects as it will put a responsibility in the shoulder of the students. Continuously reminding them that their negligence towards their work would affect their annual performance will also bind them to take their classes regularly. Vidyalaya online classroom software provides you with an Mobile Application for the easy transfer of assignments &amp; submission as well.\r\n<h4><strong>4) Organizing Discussions During Or After The Class – </strong></h4>\r\nDiscussions will help to ensure two thingsstudent performance and their participation or attendance. During online sessions it is very easy for the students to leave the session in the middle because of countless factors. And just like the way it becomes easy for the students in a similar way it becomes hard for teachers to maintain discipline. Because of no strict rules for attendance. So timely discussions will help the teachers to gain idea about student attendance thus ensuring the interest as well. Constant reminder to prepare for the discussions would also bound them to take their classes.\r\n<h4><strong>5) Asking Questions Randomly During Class –</strong></h4>\r\nThis is again a very easy method to engage students in a class. Asking questions to the students would reveal the truth of the students and give teacher a good idea of their participation. But instead of asking questions in a particular order, a teacher should ask random students about the topic being taught in the class. This would help to know the attendance of the students also. It will also restrict the students to abandon their lecture in the middle because of the fear of being caught red handed.\r\n<h4><strong>6) Video Calls with The Students If Possible – </strong></h4>\r\nThis method could be used but only if the internet bandwidth is very strong. After all the students have come online for the class, the teachers can ask the students to keep their cameras on so that the teachers can see the faces of students. Also, they can check their activities throughout the class. But as earlier mentioned this is next to impossible because of numerous reasons. The only possibility for this to happen is when there are no technical issues and the connectivity is strong. Also, it is important to mention that some of the students might not even have access to internet at all.\r\n<h4><strong>7) Keeping In Touch With The Parents Of Students –</strong></h4>\r\nMy personal opinion is that this method should be the priority of the teachers.
