Research Background
• Traditional Attendance Issues:
• Manual methods cause errors and delays.
• Proxy attendance is common.
• Communication with parents is not instant.
• Why NFC?
• NFC allows contactless and automated attendance marking.
• Faster than manual methods.
• No need for physical NFC cards – students can tap their
NFC-enabled devices (phones, student IDs, etc.).
• Key Difference in My Project: NFC without requiring
hardware.
