Abstract

Truancy and/or lateness by lecturers in Nigerian universities have been an aged problem. Though the universities have units that occasionally visit some lecture venues to check whether lectures hold as scheduled or not, the policing officers cannot practically verify that all the lectures scheduled per day in every department of the university had held. This paper presents the Lecture Evaluation and Monitoring System (LEMS), a system that uses Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) and internet technology to help the university’s Quality Assurance and Productivity Unit (QAP) unit to monitor lecture attendances in real time without having to roam the campus. The system also provides statistical summary of the attendance inputs for each lecturer, departments and schools lecture attendance inputs for a given semester.
