1. The Attendance Tool allows you to record attendance and allows the student to track their attendance. It consists of creating an attendance scheme, creating a register, and taking attendance. NOTE: The Attendance does not connect with the Grade book
|
|
2. This tutorial will cover creating an Attendance Register.
|
|
3. Click Management
|
|
4. Click Attendance
|
|
5. The Register is what contains the days in which you will record attendance. To create one, click New Register. |
|
6. Click Name and give your register a name.
|
|
7. Type Name and click Return or Enter on your keyboard.
|
|
8. Scroll down and click the dropdown under Attendance Scheme
|
|
9. A scheme is what signifies what you record for attendance. For example, present and absent. Select a scheme. In this case, I'll select the one I created in the first tutorial, Creating an Attendance Scheme. |
|
10. Select My Scheme
|
|
11. The Cause for Concern percentage is based on the percentages you assigned in your scheme and your attendance policy in your syllabus and will alert you when a student is at risk. It is optional and does not connect with the Grade book. |
|
12. Click in the textbox under Cause for Concern. |
|
13. Type in a number and click Return or Enter on your keyboard.
|
|
14. Under Sessions you will create the dates of your class. For example, if you teach 15 class sessions, you will need 15 rows in your Sessions area.
|
|
15. Since creating this can be a click-intensive process, I recommend that you use code such as W1M for Week 1 Monday. That way you can reuse this register anytime you teach a MWF class.
|
|
16. Click on the textbox under Session Name, next to number 1
|
|
17. Type a session name and press Tab
|
|

|
|
22. Click Add Sessions
|
|
23. Continue to add all the days in which you will take attendance.
|
|
24. If you have extra rows you wish to delete, scroll down and click Delete (the trash can icon) to the far right of the row.
|
|
25. Click Delete
|
|
26. When finished, click Save
|
|
27. Scroll and click Close
