Do you have anyone who checks the students in as the enter the lab? I've
experimented with several different tracking programs, but the most reliable
one so far has been to simply create an excel workbook with spreadsheets for
individual classes and students. As students come in the lab, the student
workers take their IDs and enter the day and times on their spreadsheets.

It's easy as pie to add their total time spent in the lab this way!

------------------
We are looking for a good way to track attendance in our 30-station 
networked lab.  Student use is approximately 840 use hours per week 
because of a 2-hour per week lab requirement for students in all of 
our 111, 115, 122 and 222 language classes.  This is a Mac lab 
running OS9, but as soon as I can convince people to dump some old 
software, we will move to OSX.  Our university will have a 9.2% cut 
in budget next year, so we will need to find something very cheap.
