Student Attendance and Faculty Communication Application – Codeshoppy

Managing the attendance using traditional approach is really a cumbersome process. The person has to maintain the attendance record in registers and file using pen and paper. The problem with this approach is that it requires lots of paper which are the part of our non-renewable natural resources. We are in the age, where we have to think about sustainable development. Managing the attendance using mobile phones, provide an alternative way in this direction. Communication between teachers and the parent is also an important issue that should also be considered, because parent can only get the information about their ward after the interaction with teachers. So, we also tried to bring the system which enables parent to receive the information of their ward of regularity on daily basis. Codeshoppy

Existing Solution:

It is better than PC based system in many ways:

1. In an environment of inadequate and erratic Power (Electricity) supply, the Mobile phones are much better than the Computer; Desktop or Laptop. The Mobile phone requires a small fraction of the power requirement of Computers and has power storing batteries that tend to store power for a longer period, when compared to Laptops
2. It provides mobility to the users to access the attendance record at any time and at any place.
3. The Mobile Phone is relatively cheaper than the Computer on the average, so economically it has advantage over that.
4. In an environment of poor maintenance culture, Mobile phones are less prone to malfunctioning when compared to Computers so; Cheaper Maintenance is the next added advantage for any system based on mobile phones.
5. The reduction in Paper material being used in traditional method of pen and paper based attendance system, thus preserving the Forests of the world (the small phone can contain hundreds of thousands of pages of books, and written materials). It is a Green technology.
6. Availability wise also it is preferable, today mobile phone is available to every other person as compared to computer. So, any institution does not need to incur any extra cost while installing the system.
