Design and Development of Attendance and Temperature Recording System: A Smart Companion for the Current VLE Implementation in Malaysian Schools

Abstract

With the prominence of COVID-19 in our lives and with the looming threat of other pandemics raising in the future, keeping track of everyone’s temperature as a clear symptom of the disease is imperative for society moving forward. This applies to schools and other educational institutions too. This study aims to give a comprehensive solution that would be adaptable to multiple institutions. A web application that can run on most consumer devices would let schools keep track of their students’ temperature on top of easing the process of tracking class attendance by correlating both. At the moment, Malaysian schools have already implemented several ICT initiatives, including for data management (APDM, SAPS, etc.) as well as for teaching and learning (Virtual Learning Environment). Therefore, the proposed online system for attendance and temperature recording would be a good complement to support the digitalization of Malaysian schools.
