Attendance Tool

Summary

The Attendance module can be added to courses in LearnHub to allow instructor to collect attendance information about their students for each class session. The Attendance module works by allowing you to create multiple sessions, where each session is a class period during which you need to take attendance.

 Each session has a date, a start time, and an end time associated with it. Sessions can be automatically repeated for the entirety of the course, so there is no need to create your class sessions one-by-one. The module can assign grades to students based on their attendance status, or it can be set to not require a grade. These instructions show you how to create a new Attendance module for a course with commonly-used general settings.
