Automatically tracking student attendance and teaching time can be significantly enhanced by utilizing a Bluetooth gateway that doubles as a smoke detector, in conjunction with TimeTraQ, a smart ID system for students and teachers. This innovative approach enables the seamless recording of attendance as students and teachers enter classrooms, with the smart ID communicating wirelessly with the Bluetooth gateway. This system not only provides real-time data on who is present and when, but it also ensures safety by integrating smoke detection capabilities. Additionally, the data collected can be analyzed to monitor teaching hours, allowing for more accurate scheduling and resource management, ultimately contributing to a more efficient educational environment.
