To say we’ve had a strange and turbulent 18 months is an understatement. Our industry took a severe blow as a result of the global pandemic and, although we are finally beginning to see some light at the end of a long and dark tunnel, things are expected to finally get back to normal by next summer i.e. summer 2022. Therefore, we recommend that, in the meantime, schools should really use this time to focus on crisis management and get everything in order to be prepared for every eventuality.

A good School Management System can truly help schools in times like these. But how?

Bulk SMS 

Intrinsiq has a very important feature which allows school staff to communicate with all those who have been entered into their system. This means that, in a time of crisis, all you need to think of is one SMS text for students, and one SMS text for agents. Once that is done, you will just have to click one button to send the information through to all the students, and another button to send the separate text to the agents...hence saving a lot of precious time. 

Remote Teaching and Distance Learning

Intrinsiq can integrate with existing online learning tools to provide a seamless experience for the student and teachers. Some schools have also chosen to add conversational classes through a video conferencing tool of their choice, which students can easily get installed on their laptops or phones. Another option that a lot of schools are going for is hybrid lessons, which means that there will be a live lesson going on in class, and other students (who are perhaps still not allowed to travel) can join remotely from the comfort of their own home, in their own country.

Incident Management System

Intrinsiq have recently launched a second important feature that has been especially designed to deal with crisis situations such as the Covid19 pandemic. This mobile-only system is designed to allow school members of staff to handle emergency incidents and ensure the safety of all staff and students onsite. This is mainly done through contactless attendance, remote notifications (to avoid having students congregate at the school reception), and also live updates that teachers and members of staff can enter into the system in order to keep each other updated and, at the same time, avoid visits to classrooms, or personal contact at offices.

So how does contactless attendance tracking work?

As far as attendance tracking goes, Intrinsiq have got you covered thanks to their contactless and Covid-friendly system. In fact, QR Attendance Tracking is a simple way in which students scan a QR code, displayed in class or on screen, on their phone and they scan it without making any contact with other classmates.

Once their attendance is registered into the system, the teacher and the school’s admin will receive an update in real time, hence making this a super efficient system especially for schools with multiple buildings and annexes. Everyone in the main office can know who is present in class, without moving an inch from their desk.

Did you know that we’re also giving 9 months FREE hosting right now?
