Because of the academic freedom they are offered, many students choose to skip a certain number of classes, which increases the absenteeism rate and affects the quality of their learning outcome and training. The goal of this paper is to propose a tool for monitoring students’ attendance and fostering their engagement and motivation for educational activities. The platform, called AttendanceManager, has three main components. The first part is a mechanism that facilitates and improves the registration of student attendance. The second component is based on gamification; taking into account the positive effects highlighted by research on this technique, the system incorporates a wide variety of badges designed to increase the engagement rate of both parties, students and teachers. The last part of the system is the analytics dashboard; teachers can visualize various student data in suggestive graphical formats and track the effects of using the platform during the semester or over the years.
