The report quoted Masudi as saying: “Wise App, which works on 2G, enables teachers to schedule and conduct live classes on Zoom without the headache of having to share meeting IDs and passwords. Additionally, it enables teachers to send and receive assignments, facilitate discussions, share material, and receive automated attendance reports, all at one place.”
