In the past few weeks, several companies across the world have decided to let their employees work from home, owing to the COVID 19 pandemic. In many countries, popular tourist places have been shut down to minimise the risk and schools are also being shut down for the same reason. Going by this, it is likely that a temporary shut down of colleges might also happen soon and if that is the case, then what can be the solution for colleges to continue their functioning despite the college not being open? The answer to this is a Digital Campus, like stuMagz. 

Through a Digital Campus platform, the college management can effectively leverage technology to run the college remotely. Classes can be delivered online with students accessing these classes at the specified time or at a convenient time on smartphones and on the computer. An added benefit of these online classes is that students can watch these classes multiple times as they will be available on the digital campus platform and also, students can directly contact teaching faculty about any doubts and queries and get it resolved. Moreover, study material can also be uploaded by the faculty for the convenience of students. 

Faculty members can also issue assignments online, with students having to finish them and submit them completely online. This will also enable easy assessment for the faculty and can also help the students keep track of all assignments on a unified platform. 

 While the ease of having other college procedures like fee payment, examination application and more on a digital platform is apparent, students can also take exams online with platforms like Examity, which enable online proctoring. Yes, you read that right, even examinations can be conducted online with active online proctoring enabled to ensure students take the exam in a right and a proper manner. Examity provides an automated ID verification that validates the identity of the candidates taking the exam. Also, its proprietary machine learning algorithms are applied to detect potential violations and any suspicious behaviour is captured via screenshots, audio files and videos, thereby providing a perfect automated proctoring system. There is also an option of live proctoring on the platform.

As we head into the 2020s, it is imperative for colleges to realise the importance of adapting to the methods of the future, for both convenience and for use during emergency situations like the ongoing pandemic.
