Practical Guide

The Paperless Academic Workflow

Zero friction, absolute trust. See how university faculties transition completely off paper, verifying lecture attendance and conducting practical rubrics in under 10 seconds.

01Initiation

Define the Academic & Skill Context

Ditch standard paper sign-off sheets. Right in class, lab, or field placement, the student opens heykudu on any mobile browser and selects their active department or module—such as Engineering Practicum, Health Sciences, or Business Analytics.

They select the target milestone directly from the university's pre-loaded curriculum catalog. The system prepares the parameters dynamically based on course stage and rubric criteria.

02Evaluation

Observe & Grade Entrustment Levels

The clinical supervisor observes the trainee's active clinical interaction. Once complete, the student passes their smartphone over to the tutor.

With a swift, clinical-grade interface, the supervisor rates the student's entrustment scaling from Level 1 (requires direct observation) to Level 4 (can execute under indirect supervision/independently). It takes only 3 taps.

03Feedback

Document Rapid, High-Value Actionable Comments

Data shows that numbers alone don't train elite clinicians. High-trust medical education hinges on rapid, direct, qualitative feedback notes.

Supervisors type out brief, high-impact clinical focus notes outlining what the student did exceptionally well, and details on specific clinical safety behaviors or skills to target next.

Assessor Feedback
What went particularly well?
"Outstanding communication during pre-op consult. Clear patient explanation of surgical risks. Monitor post-op vitals more closely."
04Verification

Instantly Secure with Scan Verification

The absolute crown jewel of the paperless experience. Once comments are added, the student's phone converts the session into a encrypted on-screen QR Code.

The supervisor opens their smartphone camera and simply scans the student's on-screen QR. No heavy portals to load, no password reset loops. The scan instantly signs off, seals, and uploads the milestone securely to the university dashboard.
