LOCATION BASED STUDENT MONITORING SYSTEM

Abstract

Monitoring attendance plays a vital role in the field of education and the business field. In smart cities, the intelligent learning environment is an essential application scenario. Class attendance checking is an important measure to urge students to attend on time and ensure the quality of learning. Aiming at the existing problems in class attendance checking, such

as low efficiency and ease of cheating, this project proposes a location-based student moni- toring system to solve the problems of the existing systems. The system includes two phases,

the initialization phase and the authentication phase. It consists of three components, i.e., the teacher-side application, the student-side application, and the server.A teacher sends an attendance checking request to the server in the initialization phase. After receiving the

request, the server will send the request to the students to submit their location informa- tion. The second phase is the authentication phase. In the authentication phase, the system

will verify the truth of the location information submitted by the students in the initial- ization phase. Mobile location service helps to trace the student’s location. If the student

enters the classroom area, then the student submits his current location to the system when they receive the notification from the server. Location information includes the latitude and longitude of the current location. When the teacher-side application gets the latitude and longitude of the student’s current location, the system will analyze the student present in the classroom according to the classroom latitude and longitude. If the student is present in the classroom environment, the student is present. Otherwise, the student is absent.There are a lot of advantages of this system like time-saving, economic efficiency, reduce personnel usage, user friendly and protected program. The system reduces manual work for teachers as it also generates reports for the attendance.Experiment comparisons and analyses show

that location based student monitoring system has the advantages of good anti-cheating per- formance, fast speed, and little disturbance to class, and is suitable for attendance checking

applications in classroom environment.
