A smart quick response (QR) based attendance management system

Abstract

The use of attendance management system is applicable to all realms of life. Organisations, Industries, Educational Institutions use the system to keep track record and maximise the performance of people within the domain. The use of computerised attendance management is quite important to mitigate the limitation of the manual method which include high processing time, high error rate and could not guarantee further analysis and test of time. Therefore, this study proposes an efficient web-based application for attendance management and tracks the availability of student in classes. The proposed system is designed using Model View and Controller (MVC) architecture and Laravel framework. The experiment for the proposed attendance management system was carried out using JavaScript, Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP), Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and MySQL as the database. In addition, the system utilizes the possession of mobile phone by the attendee to mark their presence. The system was evaluated and the result shows that the proposed attendance management system has higher user acceptability due to ease of use and assurance of future analysis.
