Development of a Classroom Attendance Checking System Using QR Code

Abstract

The objectives of this research are 1) to develop a classroom attendance checking system using QR Code, 2) to shorten duration of student checking in class, and 3) to reduce the risk of data loss and facilitate teacher for searching, processing and managing information. The system is implemented with PHP using XMAAP and having MySQL as a database management system. It supports three types of users. The first is called administrator, who takes a role of maintaining databases and is able to insert/update/delete data of courses teachers and students. The second is called teacher, who is able to insert/update/delete students in the course, manages student checking, views information of class attendances and views present/absent statistics of students in the class. The third is called student, who is able to input student’s ID into the system while doing checking process in class. The efficiency of the system is evaluated by users from each group in terms of functionality and facilitation. The average satisfied value of the whole system is at the good level (???? ̅ = 4.39 S.D. = 0.37).
