Attendance activity

Attendance activity is designed to record student attendance using E-Learning platform. You can create multiple class sessions in the Attendance activity, each corresponding to a lecture or seminar where you wish to take attendance.

Students can record (mark) attendance themselves by scanning faculty-provided QR codes, or faculty can manually record attendance.

Adding an Attendance activity

Attendance activity can be added to a course page in the same way as any other activity:

• Click on Edit mode toggle at the top right 

• Click Add an activity or resource

• Select Attendance

• Click on Save and return to course at the bottom of the page

Note that you only need to add a single Attendance activity in the course.

Adding class sessions

Class sessions let you specify individual classes or seminars for which you wish to record attendance.

To add class sessions:

• Open the Attendance activity and click the Add session tab

• Specify Date and Time for the session

• Optionally check the Repeat the session above as follows option if you wish to create multiple class sessions at once

• All other options can be left to the default values

Taking Attendance

To take attendance during class:

• Open the Attendance activity

• Next to the Class session, click the QR code icon

• A new page with a QR code will be displayed. Display this QR code to the students on the projector. Students will scan the code to record their attendance.

Note: QR code changes every 30 seconds to make it more difficult to send the QR code to other classmates. If a student has difficulty registering their attendance, they should scan the updated QR code.
