SmartGrader improves staff coordination ❤️

 πŸ’¬ How Teachers Collaborate in Real Time on SmartGrader (Even During Exams)

In the world of tech driven education, we’re often told that “collaboration is key”. But in the middle of a test or exam session, when you’re staring at a desktop screen and realize the question you set needs an image or diagram — what do you do?
With SmartGrader, the answer is simple: ask for help, and get it in seconds.

πŸ“Έ The Problem: Missing Images in the Middle of a Test

Let’s say you're working from a school desktop — setting up an exam or checking a test. You suddenly realize:
“I forgot to add a diagram for this question.”
You can’t switch to your phone. You can’t leave the exam screen. You’re stuck.

That’s where SmartCapture steps in.

What is SmartCapture?


SmartCapture is a feature in the SmartGrader app that allows teachers or staff using a mobile device to quickly capture images such as:

- Student passports (for profiles)
- Exam/test illustrations (e.g., diagrams, handwritten questions)

These images can then be instantly sent over a secure local network to staff using the desktop version of SmartGrader, especially when the desktop doesn't have a camera.

Key Highlights:
- Offline Support: Works without internet using local Wi-Fi or mobile hotspot.
- Fast & Encrypted: Images are shared securely and immediately.
- Multi-device coordination: Mobile phones act as capture tools to support desktop tasks.

πŸ”„ The Solution: Real-Time Collaboration from Any Device


Just hit “Request Image” — and all teachers in your school using SmartGrader get notified instantly. The notification looks like this:

Victor Samuel requested an image for A carrot test Biology SS2) πŸ•’ Pending – Responded by No One [Help colleague]

Any staff — whether they’re using a mobile device or their own laptop — can jump in and respond.





🧠 How It Works:

The colleague taps “Help colleague”.

A dialog opens with two options:

Open SmartCapture (to take the picture)

Paste from SmartCapture (if it’s already captured)

After clicking Paste, SmartGrader confirms: ✅ “Pasting successful”

The helper clicks Submit — and the image is sent back to you.


πŸ””Everyone Gets Notified


Once the image is submitted, SmartGrader does something magical:

πŸ“£ “John Ololade, please check your notifications. It has been responded to by Victor Samuel.”

Every teacher sees this update across all their devices — in real time. The notification changes to Responded, and everyone can view or use the image instantly.


🧹 Automatic Cleanup


After the image is used in the exam or test, that notification disappears from every device. No clutter. No confusion. No duplicate effort.


🎯 Why This Matters

This isn’t just about sharing images. It’s about:
Saving time mid-test
Reducing stress during exam setup
Making teamwork seamless across devices
Keeping everyone in sync, even when they’re apart
And best of all? No one needs to ask on WhatsApp or chase people down the hallway.

πŸš€ Final Thoughts


SmartGrader’s image request workflow is simple on the surface, but under the hood it’s a real-time system that makes teaching smoother, exams sharper, and collaboration smarter.

So next time your test needs a visual, just ask — your colleagues are already just one tap away.
