Attendance-taking has been practised in most learning institutions, schools, colleges, and universities to monitor the students’ commitment towards their studies. The traditional way of attendance-taking is usually performed by passing a piece of paper to be signed by all the students in the class. The main drawback is proxy attendance, whereby a student can sign on behalf of their friend. Students frequently miss classes are at a higher risk of missing important information, discussions, demonstrations, and assignments, leading to knowledge gaps and hindering their overall academic progress. Additionally, traditional attendance-taking takes significant time for the paper to circulate among the students, especially in larger classrooms. This can result in wasted instructional time and disrupt the class flow. The students might be distracted, and their focus on the class material might also be disrupted. Regarding record management, paper-based attendance records can easily get mispla.....

Programming courses are an essential and challenging component of the education of future computer specialists. Many beginners struggle with the abstract nature of these courses, resulting in high failure rates. Mastering programming languages is incredibly challenging for non-computer science students, as the subject can be unfamiliar and complex. The abstract concepts and problem-solving skills required in programming pose significant hurdles for newcomers. This article proposes a development project for game-based programming education at the primary school level. Features of the application that enable students to learn programming by solving problems while playing games. This project follows the game development life cycle (GDLC) methodology, which encompasses different stages. It begins with initiation, where the initial concept and vision for the game are defined. Next is the pre-production phase, where the concept is refined, and a detailed plan is created. The production phase.....
