The challenge: slow Excel tracking, error-prone and unfit for virtual

For years, the Online Portuguese Classes Coordination used Excel sheets to record attendance. Teachers sent their reports manually, but data often arrived late or had inconsistencies. For a virtual class environment where agility and precision are essential, this system was no longer sustainable.

Deborah, Head of the Teachers Department, describes the difficulties of the old system: Excel tracking was slow, dependent on each teacher, and errors were frequent. For coordination, every inconsistency meant re-checking and manually correcting everything.

Federico, General Coordinator (EU), confirms the manual process had reached its limits. Managing attendance data at that scale required considerable effort, and any error created a cascade of time-consuming corrections.

« Attendance tracking with Excel was slow and error-prone. We relied on teachers to send their reports, but data often arrived late or had inconsistencies. »

The solution: Edusign, intuitive and adopted without friction

Aware of these limitations, the team searched for a tool that would not just replace Excel, but transform how they work. The choice fell on Edusign for its intuitiveness and ability to integrate with existing processes without disruption.

Deborah recalls the transition happened naturally: the tool adapts perfectly to the team's needs, without having to drastically change existing processes. For Federico, the main concern was teacher adoption. The result was the opposite of his fears: implementation was quick, Edusign's support was responsive, and real-time remote attendance became a reality.

Now, attendance for every virtual class is recorded instantly, without repetitive manual intervention. Coordinators have access to centralised, reliable data at all times.

« We worried teachers would take time to adapt, but it was quite the opposite. Implementation was quick, and Edusign's support made everything much easier. We can now record attendance in real time. »

The results: time savings, reliable data, teachers freed up

Edusign's impact was immediate on several fronts. Time spent on attendance management was cut by five: where the team used to spend hours checking and updating data, everything is now centralised and automated.

Data reliability improved dramatically: records are instant and accurate, with no delays or human errors. Deborah highlights that the coordination team now has complete confidence in the data they handle.

Teachers also benefit directly. Freed from sending manual reports, they can focus entirely on teaching. The tool's flexibility allows attendance to be recorded from anywhere, a decisive advantage for 100% online classes.
