Title:

Automated Attendance

Introductory seminar classes are growing at UNH and have a need for tracking attendance. UNH currently uses iClicker (a device capable of polling and answering in-class questions) or a piece of paper getting passed around class to track attendance. These methods are either time consuming or costly to students. The goal of this project is to create a lightweight application that can accurately track attendance in higher education environments. By using UNH’s existing router infrastructure, we can determine where a person is located by the connection to UNH’s WiFi. This information can be used to collect accurate, real-time attendance data by connecting with our database. This makes taking attendance for larger classes easier, faster, and more efficient. This application allows students to use their smartphones to report into their classes without having to purchase iClicker devices. Instructors will be able to register classes and login to the web application to track and export attendance data. This application allows UNH to save money by no longer having to pay licensing fees for the use of iClicker infrastructure, ultimately allowing for instructors to waste less class time taking attendance.
