IEEE PAPER - Web-based Student Attendance System using RFID Technology

Web-based Student Attendance System using RFID
Technology

Abstract— This paper describes the development of a student
attendance system based on Radio Frequency Identification
(RFID) technology. The existing conventional attendance system
requires students to manually sign the attendance sheet every
time they attend a class. As common as it seems, such system
lacks of automation, where a number of problems may arise. This
include the time unnecessarily consumed by the students to find
and sign their name on the attendance sheet, some students may
mistakenly or purposely signed another student’s name and the
attendance sheet may got lost. Having a system that can
automatically capture student’s attendance by flashing their
student card at the RFID reader can really save all the mentioned
troubles. This is the main motive of our system and in addition
having an online system accessible anywhere and anytime can
greatly help the lecturers to keep track of their students’
attendance. Looking at a bigger picture, deploying the system
throughout the academic faculty will benefit the academic
management as students’ attendance to classes is one of the key
factor in improving the quality of teaching and monitoring their
students’ performance. Besides, this system provides valuable
online facilities for easy record maintenance offered not only to
lecturers but also to related academic management staffs
especially for the purpose of students’ progress monitoring.
