Smart Sulaimaniya Team Bring Innovation in Releasing Provincial Level Meelad Day Competition Results

Smart Sulaimaniya team always tries to do innovation in different aspects. This time our school smart team did an innovation in releasing provincial level Meelad day competition results through online.

This year also the provincial level Meelad day competition was held at Sulaimaniya college. The event was organized by the provincial education department of Sabragamuwa under the supervision of deputy director Mr Ansaf Thouse. Around 600 competitors from 40 schools in Sabragamuwa province had participated in the event.

We have seen that teachers and parents were waiting for longtime for the results of their students without going home after competition is over. As a solution to this our smart team thought of releasing the result online.

We achieved this using QR code, URL shortener and Whatsapp. We created a Whatsapp group and added smart school team members and event coordinators as administrators of the group. Then enabled the option in messages "Administrators Only" so that only administrators can post in the group. After that URL link to this group was created and it was a very lengthy URL address. Therefore the the URL shortener www.tiny.cc was used to make a short URL and created the QR code. Finally instructions, URL and QR code were printed and displayed in several places of the school such that teachers and parents scan the QR code or use the URL to join the Whatsapp group.

It was a new experience for all the schools and they told that they haven't seen such a simple system to release the results in any of government school competitions. They like the system and further they said they will try this method in their competitions too. More than 75 teachers and parents had joined the group. The results of the events were immediately posted by the our smart school team. We kept the group active only for two days. Therefore most of them trusted the system. After two days we removed everyone and deleted the group. Before closing the group, a feedback form created using Microsoft form was shared and we received very positive feedback.
