Proposal for attendance and retention control at Universidad Tecnológica de El Salvador

Abstract

This research Project describes a proposal for a technological solution for the control of attendance and retention at Universidad Tecnológica de El Salvador, by means of a tool that facilitates the administrative and academic work to support faculty members and the institution itself, in order to monitor student attendance. This study will allow for the optimization of the attendance control processes and the retention processes that the university executes and which complement the academic management of the faculty member’s over their students. A model using the current resources of the institution has been designed; the technological tool has been developed and validated so as to provide support to the proposed model; said model was created by a group of students who used PHP programming language for the design and implementation of dynamic and user-friendly interfaces that will allow the user to easily manage it by using mobile devices and a tool that is managed via web. 

Keywords: College Attendance, College retention/drop outs – Universidad Tecnológica de El Salvador, Web technologies, Mobile technology.
