Paper written by iWARG members Mr. Jacek Lewandowski and Dr. Hisbel E. Arochena titled: ‘Mobile Attendance and Time Monitoring System for M-Learning Applications: Design and Pilot Results’ has been successfully submitted and presented at the IADIS Mobile Learning Conference 2011, Avila, Spain. The paper describes a Mobile Attendance Management System (MAMS) used to remotely collect, manage and process student’s attendance data during school activities. It presents a system that taking advantage of the wide and spread use of mobile phones among students, becomes a powerful tool to process and manage attendance data in a seamless way with benefits for all parties: teachers, administrative staff and students.
The system was piloted during classes with Computer Science and related courses students’ at the Faculty of Engineering and Computing, Coventry University. The paper presents the results of this pilot as well as students and lecturers view on wireless ain-class attendance tracking. The presentation and paper itself was very well received by participants of IADIS Mobile Learning 2011 conference with a lot of good comments and valuable feedback for further development. The most interesting is the international discussion it raised among participants, whether or not we are allowed to track student’s attendance and how this would be perceived by students and staff in different countries.
