Attendance
Canvas - Attendance (Roll Call)
Once the tool is enabled, use the Roll Call feature within Canvas to easily track and award points for attendance. Encourage students to upload a picture to their user profile to help setup the seating chart feature, which makes it easier to take attendance.
Before you use this tool - please be aware of all the issues:
- Issues with cross-listed courses. You will need to take attendance separately for cross-listed courses.
- Can’t use it for grading without high potential for error
- Can’t edit points without messing up the Grades
- Can’t delete, rename or un-publish attendance assignment without causing Grade errors
Please vote to have the Attendance Tool Overhauled. Canvas will improve features based on user votes.
