Qwickly is proud to announce a major evolution in its attendance ecosystem with the launch of NFC Check-In and the Campus Location Manager, setting a new standard for how institutions define, manage, and verify the physical presence of their students. As learning environments become more dynamic, the technology that tracks engagement must be equally agile, ensuring that administrative workflows remain efficient and student data stays secure.

Frictionless Presence Verification with NFC Check-In

Taking the spotlight in this release is the launch of NFC Check-In, a contactless solution that makes attendance as intuitive as a mobile payment. By placing NFC tags at classroom entrances or at individual student desks, institutions can leverage the Qwickly Attendance App to facilitate instant, reliable verification. Because NFC technology requires close physical proximity to a tag, it offers a robust layer of integrity that surpasses traditional PIN or QR codes, ensuring that "present" truly means the student is in the room.

Agile Support for Diverse Learning Environments

The architectural foundation of these advancements is the new Campus Location Manager, a powerful engine designed to orchestrate NFC deployments, campus-wide geolocations, and enterprise seating grids from a single interface. By allowing administrators to define locations at the Campus, Building, and Room levels, Qwickly effectively eliminates the tedious cycle of manual coordinate uploads, ensuring that every room’s technical configuration is defined once and applied everywhere. This flexibility is critical for modern courses that move between lecture halls, specialized laboratories, and seminar rooms. Whether a class meets in a stadium-style theater on Monday or a clinical lab on Friday, the system automatically adapts to the correct geofence or NFC configuration, providing a seamless experience for the student and reliable data for the institution.

Eliminating Repetitive Setup Time with Campus-Wide Seating Grid

The integration of Campus Seating Grids further bridges the gap between physical space and digital insights. Administrators can now establish master seating layouts for every room on campus within the Campus Location Manager, which instructors can utilize instantly without manual setup. When combined with NFC tags at individual seats, the system becomes fully automated: a single tap from a student marks them present and simultaneously places them on the digital seating chart. This gives instructors an immediate visual overview of their classroom, fostering better engagement and providing critical proximity data at a glance.
