Information technologies have facilitated the automation of administrative processes that were previously carried out manually. In higher education institutions, teacher attendance control constitutes a relevant activity for academic management; however, paper based registration and handwritten signatures can be slow and susceptible to alterations or identity impersonation. The objective of this study was to implement a web-based teacher attendance registration system based on facial feature extraction algorithms, with the aim of automating attendance control and ensuring the reliability of the records. The research employed a qualitative approach and a descriptive case study design. Information was collected through interviews and work meetings with administrative staff from the Academic Secretariat of the Faculty of Commerce and Administration Victoria, responsible for the teacher attendance control process. The results demonstrate the design and implementation of a web system featuring modules for attendance logging, facial biometrics, photo capture, QR code generation, role based administration, reporting, and security mechanisms. The proposal's originality lies in the integration of facial biometrics and administrative management within a single web platform. Limitations included the application's reliance on factors such as lighting conditions, internet connectivity, and the type of hardware used.
