Attendance tracking software with QR code attendance and reports
Attendance tracking software records who attended each class and turns those records into attendance rates and absence reports. In Jamaster LMS attendance is taken by QR code, and rates are calculated for every student and every group. When a student misses several classes in a row, an automation rule can open a follow-up meeting plan for your team.
The single-branch Mini plan is $49 a month, and the Pro plan for multi-branch institutions is $89 per branch per month (billed yearly), and you can try it with a 10-day free demo account.
Why paper registers fall short
The register never leaves the classroom
A paper register can go missing before it reaches the office, or wait weeks for someone to type it up. Attendance taken by QR code is saved straight into Jamaster LMS, so there is nothing to re-enter.
Absence patterns go unnoticed
Spotting that a student has skipped their last three lessons means comparing several class lists by hand. The system counts consecutive absences and, if the rule is on, creates a meeting plan for an advisor.
Groups can't be compared
Finding out which group's participation is slipping usually means building a spreadsheet. Because attendance rates are also reported per group, the comparison fits on one screen.
Building blocks of the attendance software
QR code attendance
Attendance is taken with a QR code at the start of class and stored against that lesson, with no names to read out or boxes to tick.
Attendance rate per student
Classes attended and missed are totalled into an attendance rate for each student, giving you a concrete figure when you talk to parents.
Class participation by group
The class participation view in education reports lines up active groups side by side, next to term enrollments and enrollments by course.
Absence automation
An automation rule creates a meeting plan when a student has 3 consecutive absences. You can switch the rule on or off at any time.
Attendance report and frozen students
The attendance report brings recorded attendance together by student and by group. Students on a long break have their enrollment frozen and are followed in the frozen students report.

Frequently asked questions
How does attendance tracking software work?
It keeps a participation record for every lesson and calculates attendance rates from those records. In Jamaster LMS attendance is taken by QR code, and the results feed reports per student and per group.
How do you take attendance with a QR code?
Jamaster LMS has a built-in QR code attendance feature used during class, and each record is saved directly to that lesson. The system is web based, so there is no software to install.
How can I spot students who keep missing class?
With the absence rule switched on, Jamaster LMS creates a meeting plan for any student with 3 consecutive absences. Students with low attendance rates also stand out in the attendance report.
