Abstract
Technology plays an integral role in modern education, streamlining processes and enhancing operational efficiency. This study introduces QRCodeConnect: Student Attendance and Computer Monitoring System, designed to improve attendance tracking and computer usage monitoring at Mabalacat City College. Employing the modified waterfall model for development, the system integrates QR code technology and real-time analytics to optimize resource allocation and reduce administrative workload. It was evaluated using ISO 25010 standards, achieving an "Excellent" overall mean score of 4.49 in alpha testing by IT experts. Specific scores included Functional Suitability (4.47), Compatibility (4.42), Interaction Capability (4.52), Security (4.51), and Flexibility (4.53). Beta testing with 30 student respondents reaffirmed the system’s reliability and user satisfaction. Despite its tailored focus, limitations were identified, such as scalability, offline functionality, and integration with external databases, paving the way for future enhancements. While the study focused on a controlled laboratory environment, limitations such as scalability, offline functionality, and integration with external databases were identified, offering pathways for future enhancement. Despite these constraints, QRCodeConnect demonstrates the potential to redefine institutional processes by leveraging modern technology, making it adaptable for other educational institutions.
