The Attendance/Roll Call Tool is ideal for smaller, face-to-face classes where you already take attendance.
Attendance and Financial Aid: At a minimum, take attendance every class meeting until every student has been accounted for in at least one class session. Once you have recorded that all students have attended at least one class session, you no longer need to record attendance for the purpose of the financial aid requirement.
Note: Students do not see a list of dates and whether they were present or not – just the final score.
In the course navigation, click the Attendance link.
Changing the Point Value of the Roll Call Attendance Assignment: If you would like to change the point value of the Roll Call Attendance, you will have to manually changes the grades in the gradebook as well.
Attendance and Final Grades: This score does not need to be factored in to the final grade for the course. When in the Edit area, you can check the box for Do not count this assignment towards the final grade.
You can edit attendance records for a different date by using the arrow icons next to the date or by clicking on the Calendar icon.
You can toggle the correct mark for each student (present, absent, or late) [1] or click the Mark All Present button [2] to take attendance in Class View.
In the upper right-hand corner, there is a gear icon with two additional settings: Roll Call Settings and Attendance Report.
The Roll Call Settings allows you to adjust a lateness policy. If a student is marked late, they will receive a grade based on the percentage that is set.
The Attendance Report will allow you to run a report for a specific time frame or the entire semester, as well as by individual student or the entire course. Once the report is run, it will download a CSV file to your device.
