Abstract: Tracking students' attendance manually is exhausting and time-consuming. On the other hand, the number of smartphone users has rapidly increased due to their features and useful applications (apps). This has motivated us to introduce Smart Course Attendance Tracking Android Application in Classroom Teaching (SCATAA-CT). This app aims to enhance the process of tracking attendance. A course instructor generates a Quick Response (QR) code during the lecture and the students scan and send it back to prove their attendance. A fingerprint authentication is required in addition to other restrictions to prevent any possible manipulation. SCATAA-CT allows instructors to show courses details and block/unblock students. Students can also use the app to show their attendance details. SCATAA-CT was practically tested where it showed efficiency and credibility. Even more, the involved students answered an evaluation survey and the results were very positive with a number of useful feedbacks to consider.
