Abstract

The objective of this study is to develop a portable student attendance system for use in educational facilities as well as a user-friendly attendance system, primarily for the lecturer, that includes security standards for the stored data. When the system is turned on, it will show the SD card and state, "SD card is OK," to show that it is in good shape before showing the project's name. In addition, the time, date, and year are given. Every child has been given an identity number, ranging from 01 to 50. In the event that a student with the number 01 is called and you happen to be present, you will dial 01 using the system's Bluetooth device or an Android serial monitor. In this research we have seen how the system is used to send messages to the registered mobile phone number and a lecturer has to see if the student is present in the class before he sends the message to the parents using the implemented system, which is different from using the RFID tags, which you can give to anyone to swipe for you even if you are not present in the class.
