✨ Key Features
ClassSync offers a tailored experience for every user role within the university ecosystem.

For Administrators:
Centralized Dashboard: Get a high-level overview of university-wide attendance trends.

Department & Program Management: Easily manage faculty, courses, and student rosters.

Geofence Configuration: Interactively draw and manage campus boundaries for GPS verification.

Security Auditing: Access detailed reports on flagged proxy attempts.

In-depth Analytics: Identify at-risk students and track engagement patterns across departments.

For Professors:
Hybrid Attendance: Seamlessly manage attendance for both offline (in-person) and online classes.

Live Attendance Sessions: Launch secure, real-time attendance sessions with a single click.

Dynamic QR Codes: Generate time-sensitive QR codes that refresh every 10 seconds to prevent sharing.

Proxy Detection: Receive instant alerts if multiple students check in from the same device.

Manual Override & CSV Upload: Easily upload participant lists from online classes or manually adjust attendance records.

Class Analytics: Track attendance percentages for each student in every class.

For Students:
Simple Check-in: A guided, multi-step process to securely mark attendance.

Personal Dashboard: View personal details and overall attendance percentage.

Weekly Schedule: A clear view of their class schedule.

Attendance Tracking: See a subject-wise breakdown of their attendance record with visual graphs.

🔐 The 5-Step Secure Verification Flow
Our core innovation is a multi-layered verification process that makes proxy attendance impractical and easily detectable.

📍GPS Geofence: The student's app first verifies they are within the designated campus boundary. The check-in process cannot start otherwise.

🔳 Dynamic QR Code: The professor displays a QR code that refreshes every 10 seconds. This ensures the student is physically in the room and looking at the screen.

👆 Biometric Confirmation: The app prompts for a native fingerprint or face scan. This confirms that an authorized user of the phone is actively approving the check-in.

🕵️ Browser Fingerprint/Device ID: We generate a unique and stable identifier for the student's device.

🚩 Server-Side Duplicate Check: Our backend cross-references the Device ID. If the same device is used for another student in the same session, both check-ins are flagged for administrative review.

🛠️ Tech Stack
This prototype was built with a modern web stack, with a clear roadmap to a native application.
