Faculty can utilize an attendance tracking tool in on-campus courses. The attendance tracking tool enables faculty to keep very simple records about who attended a specific class session.
Features:
-
The Attendance Tracker tool automatically pulls information about a course's meeting dates and times from the BSPH course system.
-
Faculty can enable or disable attendance tracking for individual class sessions or add additional sessions to the attendance tracking grid.
-
The tool builds out a simple grid of checkboxes where faculty can mark if a student attended that class.
-
Attendance data can be exported to Excel at any time.
-
Faculty can allow students to mark themselves as attended in the class website.
-
Faculty can control when sign-in button appears and disappears on the course home page.
-
If the attendance tracking tool is enabled, students can see a report of their attendance as recorded in CoursePlus.
Note: No additional verification methods (i.e.; swiping a badge, facial recognition in the room, geolocation of the device used to check in) are provided for the Attendance Tracker Tool.
