Title
A Multi-Factor Student Attendance Management System
Goal
The objective of this project is to design and develop a student attendance management system that enhances attendance-taking efficiency and minimizes proxy attendance. The system utilizes GPS/location tracking and biometric fingerprint authentication to verify students’ identities and confirm their physical presence in the classroom. Additionally, GPS/location data will be collected at random intervals throughout the class session to ensure that students remain present before the session end.
Description
Traditional classroom attendance checking methods, such as QR code check-ins and password-based sign-ins, have several limitations. First, they are time-consuming and require considerable effort from instructors to conduct and manage. Second, QR codes and passwords can be easily shared among students, enabling proxy attendance and resulting in records that do not accurately reflect actual classroom participation. Consequently, students who are not physically present may still be able to mark themselves as attended. Lastly, instructors need to spend additional time organizing and analysing attendance records and generating reports. This project aims to address these challenges through the integration of biometric authentication and GPS-based location verification. The proposed system verifies both the identity and physical location of students before recording attendance. By leveraging the Google Maps API and predefined classroom coordinates, the system can accurately determine whether a student is within the designated classroom area. In addition, random location checks are performed throughout the class session to monitor students’ real-time presence and ensure that they remain in class. The system also provides instructors with comprehensive attendance management features, enabling efficient record-keeping, monitoring, and reporting.
