Guide for Students & Pupils

This guide explains how to check in for courses and events at your school or university using the LiteLog app.

Step 1: Download the App​

Download the LiteLog app for free:

  • Android — Google Play Store → search for "LiteLog"
  • iOS — Apple App Store → search for "LiteLog"

Step 2: Log In​

Your school or university has sent you an invitation by email. Follow the link in the email to activate your account. If you have not received an invitation, contact your administration or your teacher.

Then log in with your email and password in the app.

Step 3: Check In via QR Code​

Here is how to check in for a course:

  1. Find the kiosk — At the entrance to your room, there is a tablet or screen displaying a QR code
  2. Open the app — Open the LiteLog app on your smartphone
  3. Scan the QR code — Tap the scan icon and point the camera at the QR code on the kiosk
  4. Receive confirmation — After a successful scan, you will immediately receive a confirmation in the app

That's it — your attendance has been recorded.

:::tip A Quick Scan Is Enough You only need to scan the QR code briefly. The confirmation appears within seconds. You do not need to log in on the kiosk device itself — everything runs through your own smartphone. :::

Step 4: Check-Out (If Required)​

At many institutions, the check-in is sufficient — your attendance is automatically ended when the course finishes. A check-out is not necessary.

If your institution requires a check-out, scan the QR code on the kiosk again when you leave the room. The app automatically recognizes whether it is a check-in or check-out.

View Your Own Attendance​

In the LiteLog app, you can view your own attendance at any time:

  1. Open the app
  2. Navigate to the attendance overview
  3. Here you can see all your check-ins with date, time, and course

This gives you a personal record of your participation at any time.

Common Problems & Solutions​

QR Code Is Not Recognized​

Possible CauseSolution
Camera permission missingAllow LiteLog access to the camera in your smartphone settings
QR code too smallMove closer to the kiosk screen
Poor lightingTry to avoid reflections on the kiosk screen
App not up to dateUpdate the LiteLog app in the App Store / Play Store

"No Active Course" When Scanning​

The kiosk only shows courses that take place within the next 48 hours. If no course is displayed:

  • Check whether you are in the correct room
  • The course may have been rescheduled or cancelled — ask your teacher

Check-In Was Not Recorded​

If you do not receive a confirmation after scanning:

  1. Check your internet connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data) — the kiosk with a dynamic QR code requires an active connection
  2. Try scanning again — the QR code changes approximately every 60 seconds, and both codes (old and new) are briefly valid during the transition
  3. If no internet is available: In some rooms, a printed QR code (static, non-rotating) is posted as a fallback — ask your teacher
  4. If the problem persists, contact your teacher — they can register you manually directly during the course

App Login Does Not Work​

  • Check whether you are using the correct email address
  • Use "Forgot password" to reset your password
  • Contact your administration if your account has not yet been activated

Frequently Asked Questions​

Do I have to check in separately for each course? Yes. Each course has its own time slot on the kiosk. Scan the QR code at the beginning of each course.

What if I don't have a smartphone or forgot it? Contact your teacher. They can register you directly during the course in the portal. This also applies if your battery is dead or your camera is defective.

Does the app cost anything? No. The LiteLog app is free.

Can I take a photo of the QR code and scan it later? No. The QR code changes approximately every 60 seconds. A photographed code becomes invalid after a short time.
