The Instructure Product Team is working on implementing a better solution to collect your feedback. Read Shiren's blog for more information.
There is no way to keep track of reasons for absences or lateness in the Canvas Attendance tool. I allow students a certain number of unexplained absences, but after that number has been reached, I ask for explanations. It would be especially helpful to be able to add these to Attendance so that all of the information about a student's attendance record is in one place. As it is now, I have to keep track of myriad emails outside of Canvas.
Add a NOTES field to the "more" area in Attendance so that we can include a note about a student's absence and ADD a NEW OPTION for attendance: "EXCUSED", along the existing Present, Absent, or Late options.
