NJC: A smart attendance taking system for lectures in Junior Colleges


Attendance taking for lectures is a very time consuming and troublesome process. The records are written in paper and difficult for teachers to sum up and analyze for the students' overall attendance. We develop an automated Attendance Taking system with the aid of QR code. Then entire attendance taking process can be finished with in 15 seconds and report can be automatically generated for any purposes. This system is currently under testing and implementation in NJC and we would like to share our project with you.
