When a student attends class, they are able to engage in a form of learning known as active learning which is a type of learning where students engage with course materials, discussions etc. Strathmore University is a renowned institution that is associated with offering high quality education. However, Strathmore University has had challenges in recording class attendance using the manual signing sheets where students sign against their name after which the lecturer physically keys in the attendance into the system. This method proves to be a challenge as students are able to sign for each other that leads to dismal academic performance. The aim of this project is to develop a fully functional mobile-based system where student’s attendance is captured accurately and signing for each other is avoided by the use of a biometric fingerprint scanner. The system methodology that will be used is incremental development. This is because there is great interaction between end users and the server. There is also high customer satisfaction and high product methodology. Functionality and usability of the system will be tested to help establish whether the system user needs are adequately realized. Through the use of a mobile-based system, which uses a biometric fingerprint scanner data, accuracy will be enhanced as well as solving the problem of students signing for each other
