The integration of digital tools into educational contexts across the globe has undergone a significant transformation in recent years. This shift reached its pinnacle during periods of lockdown and the rise of hybridized education. Before 2020, tasks like university registrations often demanded extensive time and travel and consuming time commitments from both students and university staff.
