Android-Based Attendance Monitoring System

Attendance taking has become a one problem for the instructor to keep track and record the
number and other necessary details of the attendees. Traditional ways of taking attendance has
been widely used which is mostly based on paper. Paper-based attendance taking is heartache for
the instructor as this system is unreliable and difficult to keep track. This system allows
attendance fabrication and do not have a systematic way of keeping the record indefinitely. Over
the years, lots of innovative ideas to improve attendance taking systems have been developed to
counter this problem. However, each of them has its own limitations and weaknesses. As a
result, studies have been carried out to develop a more systematic and reliable way to improve
current attendance taking system. There are three objectives to be achieved; To implement well-
organized attendance monitoring and tracking system by developing an Android mobile
application that helps lecturers to monitor attendance in his/her mobile phone, To prevent
fabrication of students’ attendance, To save time in taking attendances.
