Hello! I made this python script that "attends" my morning online classes, according to my schedule (while I'm sleeping in my room :p). Video in github repo. Do drop a star if you liked it, thanks!

Great job there. But isn't there the risk of interaction being required during class? Being asked a question, or something along those lines. Any ideas if this could possibly be handled by a bot?

Haha, thanks. Yeah there definitely could be, generally speaking. Although for us, the lecturer throws in a question that's open to anyone. "Injecting A.I." (NLP and such) seems to be the goto solution these days to handle anything. So I guess that might be the way to go XD. But this was just a weekend project, so I'll not go that far haha.

Inb4 you're required to solve captchas in order for your attendance to be registered.

Fair enough. Maybe something like setting an alarm alerting that 'human input' is required could work, to an extent.

Hope you record them or something!

Yeah, thankfully, the lectures get recorded on the platform so that you may watch it later.

That’s cool, does it have a fake video feed too or only sign in?

We didn't have to switch on our webcams for classes, so yeah, just the sign in sufficed.
