“…Electronic systems may identify students through a unique device (eg, identification card) or biometrics. 12 – 17 Fingerprints are often used as the identifying biometric, although others are also used, including the eyes, face, ear shape, and voice recognition. However, many electronic methods require a fixed location and are not practical for use in clinical settings at present.…”

BackgroundDespite the widespread introduction of active learning strategies to engage students across modern medical curricula, student attendance and attendance monitoring remain a challenging issue for medical educators. In addition, there is little published evidence available to medical educators regarding the use of attendance monitoring systems. The aim of this study was to evaluate the opinions of students and staff about the use of a paper-based student logbook to record student attendance across all clinical and classroom-based learning activities within an undergraduate clinical rotation in obstetrics and gynecology (OBGYN).MethodsEach student undertaking the clinical rotation in OBGYN was required to complete a paper-based logbook in a booklet format that listed every clinical and classroom-based activity that the student was expected to attend. A cross-sectional survey evaluating the acceptability, practicality, and effect on access to learning opportunities of using the logbook was undertaken. The survey was conducted among all medical students who completed their OBGYN rotation over a full academic year and staff who taught on the program.ResultsThe response rate was 87% (n=128/147) among students and 80% (n=8/10) among staff. Monitoring attendance was widely acceptable to students (n=107/128, 84%) and staff (n=8/8, 100%). Most students (n=95/128, 74%) and staff (n=7/8, 88%) recommended that attendance should be mandatory during rotations. Almost all staff felt that attendance should contribute toward academic credit (n=7/8, 88%), but students were divided (n=73/128, 57%). Students (n=94/128, 73%) and staff (n=6/8, 75%) reported that the use of the logbook to record attendance with tutor signatures was a satisfactory system, although students questioned the need for recording attendance at every classroom-based activity. Most students felt that the logbook facilitated access to learning experiences during the rotation (n=90/128, 71%). Staff felt that the process of signing logbooks improved their interaction with students (n=6/8, 75%).ConclusionThe survey showed that the use of a paper-based logbook to record medical student attendance with tutor signatures across all clinical and classroom-based learning activities was acceptable and practical for students and staff and was felt to facilitate access to learning opportunities. The study provides medical educators with evidence to support monitoring of attendance within clinical rotations.

“…Various researchers in academic and industries have developed biometric identity system using face, iris and fingerprint [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. The nexus of this research is to design, construct and implement an IOT-based biometric system with a view to curbing insecurity in Cross River University of Technology, Calabar and other institutions in Nigeria.…”

Identification of students in higher institutions in Nigeria, coupled with the recent insecurity and impersonation in the country has exposed the need to find a way to identify each and every person in the institution and Cross River University of Technology (CRUTECH), Calabar, Nigeria, is not an exception. The current method of identifying students with an identification card is vulnerable to abuse. To curtail this menace, this research proposes an IOT-based attendance system using ESP32 microcontroller, 0.96” OLED display and R305 fingerprint module. During operation, the system collects the fingerprint data from multiple users through the microcontroller based on ESP32 Wi-Fi enabled module and sends it over the internet to a website. Enrollment of fingerprints is done on the server using the interfaced fingerprint sensor module. Verification of user’s fingerprint is done on the webserver while fingerprint templates are transmitted over Wi-Fi. The website user interface (UI) used in this project is developed using PHP, CSS and JavaScript. It has a database and records of attendance. By logging into the website, attendance records of each user, including personal details as well as incoming and outgoing time can be collected. This data can be downloaded and exported to an excel sheet for evaluation.

Tracking students’ attendance is part of academic cycles, however, academic staff members become overwhelmed by applying traditional methods for recording this. The dominant method of recording attendance is traditional methods such as calling students’ names and passing attendance sheets. These methods raise some concerns such as being time-consuming, spreading Coronavirus by sharing the attendance sheet, and other issues. The introduced and implemented solutions in the literature are rather expensive, time-consuming, lack accuracy, or require a long process to record the attendance. In this project, we aim to investigate the use of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons at the main campus of Tabuk University to build a smart attendance system called the UTSA system. This system will help to overcome the raised concerns of applying the traditional methods for recording student attendance. Three interactive HTML prototypes were developed and examined using a heuristic evaluation methodology. The third proposed prototype, the instructor web-based system, was the most pleasing prototype by most evaluators compared to the two prototypes of the mobile app. All of the evaluators agreed that the current attendance system at Tabuk University is time-consuming and vulnerable to human errors during the transference of attendees from the attendance sheets to the online attendance system. The proposed system of this work provides an accurate and affordable method for signing in the students' attendance as it is going to be done using two steps for recording the attendance: Students mobile attendance broadcasting and academic staff verification process using the proposed app. Moreover, no additional equipment needs to be installed to apply the proposed solution as it used the students and the academic staff members mobile phones.
