He devised a app called QR Attendance Control which let you take attendance using QR codes. These codes are consist of black patterns that contain information which can be interpreted by a digital camera and software.

Michael then assigned a unique QR code for each student that will be scan before his class. After scanning, the app will automatically make register of the date time and date of arrival and departure of each student and calculates the time they spent inside the classroom. This register can be exported to excel for records.

In his facebook post, he wrote a detailed steps on how his fellow teachers and students can easily use the app as shown below.
