QR code attendance is the most cost-effective and accurate way to track student attendance. Unlike biometric systems, QR requires no special hardware — just a phone or tablet at the entrance.
How QR Attendance Works
Each student receives a unique QR code linked to their profile. At entry, they scan the code using a tablet placed at the entrance. The system records the timestamp, verifies the identity, and marks attendance automatically. The entire process takes under 2 seconds per student.
Setting Up QR Attendance
Generate unique QR codes for each student through your management software. Print QR cards or let students save the QR on their phones. Place a tablet with a camera at each entry point. Configure the system to only accept scans during valid class hours to prevent manipulation.
Eliminating Proxy Attendance
QR codes can be enhanced with location verification (ensuring the scan happens at your premises), time-window restrictions, and rotating display codes that change every 30 seconds. These measures make proxy attendance virtually impossible.
Real-Time Notifications
When a student checks in, parents receive an instant WhatsApp notification. If a student is absent, parents are alerted within 15 minutes of class start time. This real-time communication builds trust and ensures child safety. Nxiora supports QR attendance with all these features built in.
