Education is an essential part of any modern society around the world and as a result, it transformed educational institutions, as well as the managerial and organizational approaches to schooling. Technology has come up with several innovative solutions in order to simplify certain functions. The educational technology commonly referred to as EdTech has influenced the mode of teaching and learning. A few years ago, there were computer labs in school and college premises but now classrooms have been converted to an advanced digital space with versatile learning tools that have changed the way of education entirely. Even with the doubts, technology has managed to reach its potential for the improvement of the education sector.
One of the most revolutionary technological implementations in education is probably the introduction of RFID systems. RFID has been around for many years, in airports, hospitals, libraries and lately it has been inserted into educational environments as well. There has been growth in RFID usage simply because of its many benefits.
What is RFID?
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) are devices that use electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags attached to objects. The tags contain electronically stored information. Passive tags collect energy from a nearby RFID reader's interrogating radio waves and they interpret signals. These signals are being collected and transformed into valuable data that can help the managerial process of educational institutions. RFID enhances the overall security of students as well as other places where constant supervision of adults is required.
How it works
Every RFID system consists of three components: a scanning antenna, a transceiver and a transponder. Usually, every student, teacher or parent related to the institution is given an RFID card. In certain locations around the school campus, there are certain antennas in order to check for these cards every time this area is being accessed, for example, the library, a classroom or the school in general.
The antennas will be connected to RFID readers and a power source through a well-planned grid of power cables and communication cables. The RFID readers are then connected to a computer in order for the information to be stored and processed in a database. This computer will be connected to a student information system like Classter where you can manage this data any way you need.
Types of RFID tags
RFID tags are made up of an integrated circuit, an antenna and a substrate. The part of an RFID tag that encodes identifying information is called the RFID inlay.
There are two main types of RFID tags: active RFID and passive RFID. An active RFID tag has its own power source, often a battery. A passive RFID tag, on the other hand, does not require batteries; rather it receives its power from the reading antenna, whose electromagnetic wave induces a current in the RFID tag's antenna. There are also semi-passive RFID tags, meaning a battery runs the circuitry while communication is powered by the RFID reader.
Benefits of RFID integrated with an SIS
To sum up, the RFID attendance system is an incredibly useful tool for educational institutions that can enhance several monitoring functionalities. Classter All in One Student & Learning Management System strives for constant innovation and can integrate with the latest RFID technology.
