I Am Here!
Matilde Nascimento, Daniel Jorge Viegas Gonçalves · 2019
Tracking student's attendance in classrooms has been a problem for the professors for a long time, not only because of the difficulty to guarantee that the student is indeed the room, but also the time it consumes afterwards to manually transcript and validate the data. I Am Here! has the goal of being an innovative automated attendance system that aims to fulfill the existing gaps in this area, with a simple, costless, portable and fraud-resistant system using the Device Fingerprinting technique. A critical aspect was the design of a user interface that made the process as easy as possible for inside and outside the classroom, but at the same time sufficiently complex as to preclude, as much as possible, attempts at fraud. As a case study and form of validation, the system was deployed in a course where 116 students were enrolled, in Técnico Lisboa. The system was submitted to three evaluations: a Classroom Usage Evaluation, a User Evaluation and a Device Fingerprint Evaluation.
