Mobile Application for Keeping Records of Class Attendance

Recording attendance in the class meeting session is often time-consuming, prone to human error(s) and frequent recording of incorrect data. Also, tracking attendance per student can be a tedious process since it involves some sort of manual tracking/counting by pen and paper. This method consumes additional time and data may be prone to error from time to time. To avoid these problems, this paper describes a mobile application for student attendance. This application is mainly designed for students and professors who maintain attendance. Using this application, students can mark their attendance with mobile devices, furthermore, application allows the professors to keep track of student's attendance and store data for further retrieval. With advent of smartphones and tablets, which are very convenient to use, this process can be fully automated using the right technology. The tools used for application development are Kotlin and XML.
