    (Busitema University, 2024) Etyono Isaac
    Location-based students attendance system is a software tool that captures daily student attendance records from universities and schools facilitates access to the attendance of a particular student in a particular class and helps in generating reports and evaluating the attendance eligibility of a student. Rather than signing an attendance sheet manually, the attendance records are captured into the database which makes it easier to be managed. The study was conducted at Busitema University Nagongera Campus. It resultantly came up with a location-based student attendance management system that aids in managing the physical and online students’ attendance records. The major objective of the study was to develop a location-based student attendance management system for Busitema University, the management can capture students’ location and compute students’ class records. The specific objectives included investigating the current system, gathering requirements for the new system, and designing, testing, and implementing the developed system. Data was gathered using interviews, observation, and questionnaires. The collected data was sorted and analyzed using Microsoft excel software and it was found that the current manual system is inefficient, time and space consuming in addition to being insecure hence judged not good for the management of attendance records. With the newly developed system (LBSAMS) management can capture, store, compute, and Generate attendance reports based on their location.
