Attendance

[SarahCihan]

How can I take attendance more than once for the same date? I have two lessons on the same day and I cannot take the attendance individually.

Hi @SarahCihan,

The only way I can think of to accomplish this would be if you had two different course shells, but that's probably even messier than the attendance issue.  I think there is a fundamental assumption made by the Attendance tool that for each course shell, there is at most one daily attendance.  It's not really made for tracking an activity but rather tracking whether someone showed up in the building/room for the specific course that day.

I know this probably isn't the answer you were hoping to hear, but at least know your knowledge of the tool seems to be correct and you're not missing any features.

Hello,

I had an instructor add another section in their course's Settings > Sections > Name it something appropriately. Then add all of the students to the 2nd section. When you are in the Attendance tool you can switch back and forth between the sections when doing attendance.
