A different envelope will be made for each class in the Drive of every client (understudy or instructor), and that way, understudies can present their finished tasks to their educator for evaluating.

Applications in cell phones, Android, or iOS, permit the understudies to take pictures and have them appended to tasks, move records utilizing different forms, and gain admittance to some extra data disconnected.
