Recording student attendance from enrolment to graduation

The proposed system requires:

• Log-ins to restrict access.
• Profiles for students based on synthetic data provided, e.g. DOB, student number, contact details, enrolment status.
• Users can record student absences by going into each profile individually. Variables of interest: Unit (dropdown list) option to select multiple units, Activity (dropdown list lecture, clinic, etc.), Date (calendar), Time (dropdown list), Reason (dropdown illness, late, event, other), Notes (optional text box).
• Users can also do a bulk upload of absences for one unit/course.
• Students with more than a set number of absences per year are flagged and an email is automatically sent to a designated user.
• Up-to-date reports can be generated to show details of absences based on different specifications, e.g. per year, per course, per unit, per student.
• Graphical depictions of data, e.g. which unit has the most absences, trends in absences over time.
• Backdoor/admin privileges to be assigned to certain accounts, who can then give admin rights to another account. Admin privileges: update student profiles/enrolment, create/edit units, assign unit coordinators, change variables, etc.
