An automated system for tracking student attendance using barcode scanners, RFID readers, or QR codes.
This web-based application streamlines the process of recording student attendance. Students can sign in by scanning their ID cards with a generic barcode scanner. The system automatically updates attendance status based on arrival time:
- Present: On time
- Tardy: Less than 10 minutes late
- Late: Between 10 and 45 minutes late
- Absent: More than 45 minutes late or not signed in
