The attendance register is commonly used for classes that meet in a physical classroom, but it can also be used for recording attendance at required field trips or clinical events.
Create a new Attendance Register
- Click on [Course Activities] -> [Attendance].
- Click [New Register].
- Enter the Name of your register, such as Attendance.
- Choose an Attendance Scheme. See Create an Attendance Scheme to create your own.
- Enter a number indicating the % of attendance at which you intervene. (This is optional.)
- Selecting Allow users to view this attendance register is recommended.
- The Users subsection consists of the following options:
- Choose Include all users in the course if you want all students to have access to the same register.
- If you will have multiple registers, change the selection to Include all users in the following groups/sections. This will allow you to limit the students in the register to a specific section or group.
- Choose Include all users in the course if you want all students to have access to the same register.
- Determine how many class meetings you will have this term and add the needed rows to the sessions list.
- Enter a Session Name for each row.
NOTE: Keeping the names short and generic keeps the register compact and reusable without need for editing each term, such as W1.1, W1.2, W2.1, W2.2, W3.1, etc for a Mon/Wed or Tues/Thurs class. And if you have a weekly lab, L1, L2, etc...
- Click [Save].
NOTE: You cannot save the register with incomplete rows. Delete any unused rows by clicking the trashcan icon to the right.
