Abstract
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.
