Abstract

We present a web-based system for managing student attendance by exploiting the capability of NFC tag to invoke the web browser to access the URL written in the tag. Suppose an NFC tag sticker is pasted at each seat in each classroom. Let the URL written in the tag be composed of the FQDN for the student’s web application and the query part representing the classroom and seat IDs. When a student taps the NFC tag sticker pasted at his/her seat by a smartphone, its default web browser accesses the URL written in the tag to let the student’s web application know the seat and classroom IDs. The web server puts those IDs into the session variables, prompts the student to provide the student ID with the password, gets the current time from the clock, and acquires the lecture ID from the database. Once all the session variables are filled for the session, the student’s web application registers the student’s attendance in the database. The teacher’s web application shows the student IDs on the seat map of the classroom.
