Abstract:
In this paper, we describe how a multi-purpose Bluetooth communication software could simplify the daily routines of a vocational teacher significantly with virtually no extra cost and without excessive technical requirements. The attendance of the students can be monitored using the system described in this article. This feature was discovered when testing a short-range communication application intended for information distribution. The conclusion is that, with the addition of a tailored report formatting module, this application has significant potential to improve the quality of the everyday work of both the teacher and the students.
