The article describes the problem of managing the number of attendances or absences in the academic environment, as well as proposing a system of record and control these data.
The article supports the idea of an automated system over the day-to-day handwritten attendance registers, in order to facilitates the process as well as prevents students from touching things in order to protect them from COVID-19 spreading among them.
The system comprises a timekeeping system that will register every student or teacher in a database. The database itself will be managed by the University, so that reports, either individual or collective, can be issued whenever they are needed on both physical and electronic format.
Also, these reports would be used to create statistics and further help the growth of the academic process correlated with students' interest or attendance rate on certain classes. The timekeeping machines offer a quick alternative of counting the attendances and the process to do so is very much simplified.
