Transforming smart education: RPA-driven scheduling for enhanced learning efficiency
Anil Gupta · 2025
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) revolutionizes education by automating repetitive tasks, significantly improving efficiency and reducing manual effort. This paper explores the implementation of RPA in smart education, focusing on areas that have not been extensively covered in prior research.We implemented RPA to automate key educational processes. For online class scheduling, RPA generates Google meet links, configures meeting settings, and sends notifications to students via whatsapp. This ensures accurate and timely scheduling with minimal manual intervention, reducing the risk of scheduling conflicts.In addition; we automated the distribution of class materials. In this way, the tedious work connected with the use of new educational resources is carried out by RPA.Educators only get the necessary links to the storage in the cloud and guarantee timely and regular access to it to students. Another area that has been enhanced with RPA is tracking when students attend their classes.Instead of having a participant data log taken manually during the video conferencing platforms, we reduce human error and the workload so that the educators can stay focused more on their teaching than the paperwork. Moreover, collected feedbacks can be supported by RPA through the automation of creating, distributing and analyzing feedback forms that makes the work easier and brings useful information while reducing the amount of work to be done. In this paper, the need to adopt RPA as a way of promoting efficiency and improvement in operations of education is explained.
