Subject: Suggestions for new administrative and academic software upgrade

Contrast:- These softwares are designed to complement each other in the matter of teaching and learning as one has the purpose of delivering the lessons to the students accurately in the most grasp able manner while the other ensures that the knowledge is being perceived by the student.

Names:- Name of the software designed to supplement teaching is Alexa.

Function and application : The purpose of ALEXA is to convert text into voice and read it aloud to the students so that all the students can read the text in their books parallel to each other and to convert 2D diagrams into 3D diagrams and show them on a screen so that the students can understand the diagram deeply and grasp the concepts of the chapter.

Challenge: The challenges involved in incorporation of ALEXA are to develop an artificial intelligence which can read and convert the analogus text to digital one accurately and the second challenge is to convert the digital text to a voice flawlessly and on flow.

Benefits: The benefits of ALEXA are the students can listen to the text while reading it in their own text books simultaneously in a pleasant and consistent voice which will also take a lot of burden and repetitive work off the shoulders of the teacher so that the teacher can use his/her time and resources in a more creative manner to ensure that the students are understanding the concepts and grasping the knowledge.

Name of the software designed to supplement administration is MAGIC Eye.

Function and application: The function of the MAGIC EYE is to keep an eye on each and every student present in a given classroom and to check in real time that all the students are paying attention to the ongoing activity conducted by ALEXA and the teacher simultaneously. And to ensure that no student is involved in any manner of indiscipline while the class is going on.

Challenge: The challenge involved in incorporation of the magic eye is to develop an artificial intelligence and algorithms which can differentiate between the act of indiscipline and discipline by monitoring the students of classroom through a camera.

Benefits: The benefits of MAGIC EYE are that it can monitor lot of students in real time which the teacher cannot. And it alerts the teacher about the specific students who are not paying attention in the class or are indulged in any manner of indiscipline which again take off a lot of burden of the shoulders of the teacher so that he can focus his/her time and energy in ensuring that the students are understanding the concepts and grasping the knowledge.
