I the traditional on-site class learning model, student attendance rates have been positively linked in a consistent manner to an increase in academic performance. This attendance is also encouraged by lecturers, which routinely maintain daily records of students attending classes. The attendance recording process, by means of roll call, can be easily unfeasible in large classes, wasting valuable teaching time. Also, transferring the responsibility of logging their own attendance to the students, passing out a sign-in sheet and collecting it at the end of class may open the possibility of fraud, as absent students could ask other classmates to mark them as “present”, and this impersonation can only be detected by means of doing a headcount of the students, which, once again, can take significant time and is prone to error, especially in large classrooms [1],[2]. Therefore, it would be very advisable to devise a highly autonomous class attendance system so that faculties could focus on making the most of their time in class transferring knowledge instead of spending time in attendance management tasks. Also, as the proposed system should be available in every single classroom of the involved teaching institution, the overall cost is an important metric to be considered. This paper proposes an innovative information system for class attendance management, using Visible Light Communications (VLC) and a mobile app that meet the aforementioned requirements, minimizing costs and also providing every stakeholder involved with a seamless experience. The rest of the paper is organized as follows: Section II provides an overview of the related work on class attendance systems and the background on enabling technologies, specifically VLC and NFC, discussing their adequacy for the proposed platform. Section III presents the proposed system. Section IV presents the testbed and methods used for experimentation, the results obtained for validation and evaluation of the proposed system, and discussion of these results. Finally, Section V summarizes conclusions, as well as opportunities and future work.
