Challenges Faced by Smartlearning.lk and Students
- Transition to Online Learning
The sudden shift to online learning during the pandemic created a significant challenge for students and teachers who were accustomed to traditional classroom settings.

Students and teachers faced difficulties accessing and sharing educational resources. Traditional methods of distributing materials were inefficient and often resulted in outdated or incomplete information. - Immediate Feedback and Assessment
One of the major challenges was providing students with immediate feedback on their performance. Traditional paper based exams delayed the feedback process, hindering students' ability to learn from their mistakes and improve. - Secure and Seamless Payment Integration
Integrating a secure and user-friendly payment system for online educational services was essential to ensure smooth transactions for parents and students. - Comprehensive Student Analysis
Teachers needed detailed performance reports to better understand each student's strengths and weaknesses, which traditional systems struggled to provide.
