Participation Grades / Take Attendance
With the Attendance tool, instructors can keep track of course attendance by taking roll electronically. Instructors can choose to view the tool in a list or grid format and can customize the placement of each student in the seating chart.
The Attendance tool also creates an assignment in the Gradebook and calculates attendance as a percentage of a student's grade.
