Resumo


This paper presents the design and evaluation of a mobile-first, teacher-centered application that enables photo-based student assessment using standard smartphones. The system generates real-time feedback dashboards tailored to teachers, principals, and school managers, promoting data-informed decisions across classroom, school, and system levels. Two empirical studies were conducted: a prototype usability test with five teachers and a real-world case study in a public school. Results highlight the app’s usability, alignment with teachers’ workflows, and potential to enhance pedagogical planning in under-resourced contexts. We conclude with design guidelines for scalable, low-infrastructure assessment technologies.
