From QR Scan to Behaviour Insight in Under 30 Seconds
LearnerLink replaces scattered logbooks, inconsistent tracking, and end-of-term guesswork with one live system that every teacher, parent, and HOD can trust.
And it saves admin time... LOTS.
Three Steps. That's It.
The Teacher
What they do:
- Scan a learner's QR code with their phone
- Select the behaviour incident from a list
- Submit — done in under 30 seconds
What they never have to do:
- Open a laptop
- Log into anything
- Remember a password
- Written merit/demerit capturing on classlists, merit books etc.
- Write a note home
The SMT
What they see:
- Live class dashboards updated in real time
- Automatic weekly PDF reports every Sunday evening
- Merit-to-demerit ratios per class and per grade
- Students trending toward intervention — before it becomes a crisis
What they never have to do:
- Chase teachers for data
- Compile reports manually
- Ask "how is 6B doing this term?"
The Parent
What they receive:
- An email the moment a merit or demerit is logged
- Their child's running total of merit and demerit points
- Milestone alerts when rewards are earned
- A personalised Behaviour Report at the end of each term
What they never have to do:
- Wait for a school report to find out
- Call the school to follow up on behaviour
- Be surprised at parents' evening
This is how easy it is to log an incident on LearnerLink. In this example, the teacher logged a single merit and added an optional note.
THE 7-STEP FLOW
1. THE INCIDENT HAPPENS
📍 In the classroom, on the field, in the corridor
A teacher observes a behaviour — positive or negative. Instead of making a mental note and hoping to remember later, they reach for their phone.
2. SCAN THE QR CODE
📷 5 seconds
Every learner has a unique QR code printed on a class list. The teacher scans it.
No login. No searching. No typing names.
3. SELECT THE INCIDENT
☑️ 20 seconds
A Google Form opens instantly, pre-filled with the learner's name and class.
The teacher chooses his/her name, then the incident type from a dropdown list, and adds an optional Note.
Tap SUBMIT.
Done.
4. LEARNERLINK PROCESSES THE SUBMISSION
⚙️ Automatic — 0 seconds of teacher effort
The moment the form is submitted, LearnerLink automatically:
- Records the incident in the central database
- Updates the learner's running point total
- Checks whether a milestone has been crossed
- Prepares and sends the parent notification email
Your teacher is already back to teaching without having to worry about any of that.
5. THE PARENTS ARE NOTIFIED
📧 Within seconds
An email lands in the parent's inbox — personalised, clear, and factual. It states what happened, who logged it, the learner's current merit and demerit point totals, and (if applicable) a milestone alert.
No notes lost in a school bag. No delays.
6. SMT STAYS INFORMED
📊 Ongoing — always up to date
Every submission updates the live class dashboard in real time. SMT can check any class's behaviour profile at any moment — without asking anyone.
Every Sunday evening, a formatted PDF report lands in each SMT member's inbox automatically, covering the full week.
7. END OF TERM - EVERY LEARNER GETS A REPORT
📄 Generated in minutes, not days
At the end of each term, LearnerLink generates one individual behaviour summary report per learner — showing their full term statistics, milestones earned, and any behaviour alerts triggered.
The class teacher receives the reports. Print. Sign. Send home.
A full class of individual reports, ready in under five minutes.
Numbers from our First Pilot School
- 11,500+ behaviour incidents tracked in 8 weeks
- 6:1 merit-to-demerit ratio
- 1,387 learners tracked across Grades R to 7
- < 30 seconds from scan to submission
What LearnerLink Doesn't Do
- It doesn't replace your school's discipline policy. It tracks and supports the one you already have.
- It doesn't require expensive hardware. Any phone, tablet, or computer with a browser will work.
- It doesn't need training days or consultants. If your teachers can use WhatsApp, they can use LearnerLink.
- It doesn't lock you in. If it doesn't work for your school, you walk away after 30 days.

Setup Takes One Week. Not One Semester.
