Case 3: Exam results

Not too long ago, printed exam results were put up on the bulletin board in the central hall. Today, however, this process is carried out digitally in almost every educational organisation, allowing students to see their results in an app.

 


What is the situation?

One of the educators has difficulty working with the internal system that stores study results and makes them available to students. He always manages it in the end, but students are impatient and want to see their results right away. For that reason, the educator always shares the results directly in the Whatsapp group, informing everyone as soon as they become available.

What happened?

Inadvertently, the educator shares the results in the wrong Whatsapp group. It takes a while before someone in the group mentions this. The educator deletes the message and shares it in the right group. This way, the students also see each other's results and usually save an image of the results on their phone.
