It’s initial implementation in the first quarter of 2021 had brought ease on both parts of the teachers and parents in resolving self-leaning modules submission and deduction of student’s financial assistance issues in times of national health emergency. The project’s applicability in the Covid 19 pandemic and even without such condition was very high that it deserved highest recommendation to be included in the SMEA School’s Best Practices.”
       “The Project was conducted on the first quarter of School Year 2020-2021 (October-December 2020) to ensure a systematic and innovative way of managing records of documents using mobile scanning apps and maintain a cloud-based document management system.”
“Project I-SQAN stands for Integration of Scanning System of QR codes Application in the New Normal. It is pronounced “ I scan ”, which was termed to mean I, referring to the parent / guardian or student. Scan, signifying to convert a document or picture into digital form for storage or processing on a computer. The QR code and database system record the collected and submitted modules for an easy, effective, and efficient way of monitoring attendance of students.”
       “This project complements and augments the steps done by the Department of Education (DepEd) in mitigating and containing COVID-19 while persistently delivering quality educational services in this new normal.”
“It also established an efficient method of monitoring attendance instead of using a conventional (paper and pen) attendance sheet. In the distribution and retrieval process, parents brought the QR chip and put it over the mobile scanner screen. When the scanner detected the QR codes, it was automatically recorded the learner’s name in the database system in a matter of 2 to 3 seconds. Advisers who were not assigned to the distribution schedule could monitor the attendance status through the database and immediately conducted an intervention for the unclaimed and unreturned modules.”
