Why Attendance?• More class attendance => higher grades

• A strong correlation between absence from the

first day of class and overall result (Yao & Chiang,

2011)

• GPA is significantly correlated with attendance

(Broucek & Bass, 2011, Credé, Roch, &

Kieszczynka, 2010)

Attendance Systems• Image processing technique to read the

attendance list data (Nawaz, Assad, & Khalil,

2010)

• Web based application to save students’

attendance data (Mar & Lancaster, 2005)

Fingerprint• Fingerprint sensor, LCD, Server (Nawaz, Pervaiz,

Korrani, & Azhar-ud-din., 2009)

• Send Absent SMS (Shafi, Khan, Munir, & Baloch,

2010)

• Wireless System (Zhang & Ji, 2006)

RFID• Radio Frequency Identification

• Readers and Tags (Chawla & Dong Sam, 2007)

• 2KB information on tag microchip (Kassem,

Hamad, Chalhoub, & El Dahdaah, 2010)

• Concern about student’s privacy (Silva, Filipe, &

Pereira, 2008)

Clickers• Class Response System

• Since 1960 (Judson & Sawada, 2002)

• A software for lecturers to design their questions,

A clicker for students to send their answers

A receiver to receive responses to the

software (Kaleta & Joosten, 2007)

Indoor Positioning Systems

• Global Positioning System (GPS) is suitable for

outdoor (Ungrangsi, Trachtenberg, & Starobinski,

2004)

• An indoor location-based service (Kuo-Fong, Liao,

& Jia-Siang, 2010)
