Efficient Attendance System for Moodle Users
MoodleAttendBoard is a free Chrome add-on designed to enhance the attendance management experience in educational settings. Built on the mod_attendance framework, it offers a self-service check-in system that allows students to mark their attendance in-person at designated devices, ensuring the authenticity of attendance records. This feature effectively prevents issues like QR code sharing or proxy attendance, which can undermine the integrity of attendance tracking.
The tool offers real-time data updates to instructors, allowing for quick verification of student presence through an intuitive interface. Students simply enter their ID or other identification information to check in, eliminating the need for complex instructions. With a focus on preventing cheating, the system restricts attendance marking to specified devices, thereby eliminating the possibility of remote fraud or misuse of QR codes. Furthermore, it seamlessly integrates with the existing Moodle mod_attendance system, enhancing classroom management efficiency.
