Abstract:
Class attendance has become an important part for an organization or an institution.
Now a day’s classes and institutions sign their attendance using attendance sheets
inform of papers. Recording and monitoring of class attendance is difficult to
manage due to the large community of student and teachers, which requires
significant amount of time and effort to get necessary information. Since the signing
of class attendance is manually, it is hard to identify the students who are present or
absent because their classmates can help to sign for them. The manual class
attendance process is also time consuming especially when there are many students
in a class. The online class attendance system provides an online platform for student
to sign their attendance. Recording and monitoring of class attendance is automatic,
hence making the class attendance signing process very fast. The access of online
class attendance system will be restricted to a particular network within the
classroom area. The required network can either be fixed or portable network.
Teacher/lecturer can access the online class attendance system and sign in. After the
student have complete signing in, lecturer can switch the network off to prevent
access to the online class attendance system. Lecturer/teacher is required to know
the number of student current in class and compare the number with the once those
have accessed and signed on the system to ensure accuracy. Students can use
laptops/phone/pads and any other device to access the online class attendance
system. The system is also easy to monitor.
