The Potential of the Robotic Process Automation in the Field of Education

Robotic process automation (RPA) refers to the use of technology that aims to automate a wide variety of otherwise manual processes. Although the Robotic Process Automation.field is relatively new, the market is growing fast. Recent worldwide studies have reported that the RPA application in different industries brings multiple benefits, such as better service, control and quality, improved speed and employee satisfaction, reduced costs and rate of errors. However, there is little prior research on RPA adoption in education field, and on the conducted research we found few studies and papers that reveal benefits of the RPA deployment in this domain. Taking into account the above -mentioned facts, this paper aims to give insight into the RPA application in the.field of education. As a case study, we proposed an application for a student information management system, with great advantages for teachers in terms of reducing time and error when recording the students ' grades.
