Innovation in Academic Operations at the College of Medicine
The College of Medicine at the University of Warith Al-Anbiyaa has developed and implemented an innovative mobile-based system aimed at automating student attendance and exam management during the second half of 2024. This project emerged in response to growing administrative pressures on teaching staff, inefficiencies in traditional processes, and the need for greater academic transparency and integrity. Through barcode-based attendance tracking and randomized, auto-corrected exams, the system replaces manual, time-consuming tasks with instant, accurate digital operations. Key features include real-time dashboards, exam security enhancements, instant result delivery, and weekly analytics. Notably, the system saves an estimated 3 hours of faculty time per week for each classroom of 40 students. Designed for scalability and accessibility, this solution is being piloted with significant success, reflecting the university’s commitment to digital transformation in higher education. The initiative serves as a benchmark for smart academic administration. Working Team: Dr. Ali Abed Saadoon Al-Abid, Dean of the College of Medicine Eng.
