ABSTRACT
Tracking
systems is a concept that has been a part of human activity since the early
1900’s. Its existence has solved many problems ranging from enforcing efficient
payrolls in a workplace to companies all around the globe complying with labor
policies that restricts an employee from working beyond their stipulated time.
Spanning beyond business and other corporate organizations, it plays a major
role in academic institution which serves as the context this project work is
based on. Tracking systems in this sector is mostly used to take note
ofstudents attendance to class, save for the fact that the approach used to
carry out this process is paper-based, meaning lecturers using paper to record
students attendance, which poses a lot challenges including, unauthorized
access to attendance records and inefficient use ofresources. The goal ofthis
project is to design and develop a web-based application for managing and
tracking student attendance in educational institutions. This application is
basically a prototype, implying that the full implementation of the application
as well as its integration with an existing academic institution will not be
covered within this work. This project is driven by the desire to propose a
simple way by which students presence or absence in class can be tracked in the
most efficient and secure way. An automated, user-friendly interface is
intended to take the place ofmanual attendance systems, being the conventional
approach taken in most academic institutions. It uses a powerful database
management system and role-based authentication for precise tracking and safe
attendance record preservation. Methodologies employed in this work includes
the agile and waterfall methodologies. The final result ofthe application was a
successful design and development a webbased application prototype that takes
note ofthe attendance percentage of students to class. The challenges
encountered includes financial, as well as balancing the project work process
and school lectures. This work is recommended for future research to improve
the overall process of tracking student’s attendance and make a positive
paradigm shift in the world oftracking systems
