THE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF STUDENT ATTENDANCE TRACKING SYSTEM USING QR CODE CARD Authors: Abdul Rabu Siti Nazleen Volume 3 | DOI: 10.12753/2066-026X-19-158 | Pages: 154-161 | Download PDF | Abstract
Students' attendance taking and tracking are important in order to monitor students' performance in class which is closely related to their attendance. Good attendance usually leads to good performance and vice versa. Therefore, any problems related to students' attendance should be identified as early as possible so that appropriate measures can be taken to address them. However, tracking students' attendance, especially if done manually, can be tedious and time-consuming, especially for classes with a large number of students. Higher education institutions in Malaysia are now encouraged to explore the potential use of Quick Response (QR) code and smartphone as a future attendance management system to track and record the student's attendance to the class and tutorial. In response, this study attempts to explain the design and implementation of a proposed system developed using Google Drive, Google Form, Google Sheet, Notepad, and QR Code Generator Add-ons in Google Docs. Students were required to scan the unique QR code assigned to them using their smartphone during or at the beginning of each lecture in order to confirm their attendance. This affordable QR code-based attendance system enables lecturers to speed up the process of taking attendance, especially in a large classroom and would save them valuable teaching time. The proposed system provides better security than the traditional methods that depend on the sign-in sheet or roll calling student names including eliminating chances of students signing up for others who may not be present. In addition, it also provides a faster and simpler way to take attendance, which could be easily adopted by lecturers to facilitate the process of taking, managing and keeping the record of students' attendance. | Keywords
