Trainers Do a Lot of Stuff
They teach, obviously, but also carry out a million other activities at the same time. These include setting up exams, administering and marking of exams. They also prepare and present academic reports, attendance records, learning plans, session plans, and now with the modular curriculum, the list gets even longer.
Now, majority of trainers do this manually. For instance, setting an exam involves looking for questions, combining them, moderating them, putting them in a word processor, formatting the document, getting the document to the printing center, waiting for it to get printed, delivering it to the students, collecting it, designing the marking scheme, marking the paper, grading it, calculating the average and so on. It is indeed an exhausting process.
Meanwhile, institutions fill their cabinets with the never-ending paperwork of the student's Portfolio of Evidence (POE), consuming significant storage space, resources, and administrative time.
