Development of Mobile Student Attendance Monitor using RFID

This project is based on the development of attendance monitoring system, called mobile student attendance monitor. This project is motivated for the reason that the student's attendance record is the most important element which can reflect their academic achievement in the institutions. Mostly, the attendance register is circulated in the lecture rooms by the lecturers. This procedure is time taking method and unsuitable for huge number of students in a big lecture hall. Aim of the project is to develop an efficient, user friendly and effective mobile attendance system that provides an alternative solution to manual attendance in the educational institutions. This prototype system has been built using different technologies like as PHP, My SQL and VB.NET to deal the students' attendances by using RFID reader. As, most of the academic institutions provide their students and staffs, ID cards with RFID tags on them. These cards are also known as 'smart cards'. This project is designed to collect and manage student attendance through this technology which works on the verification of the students ID and recording their time of entrance and exit in the lecture halls.
