This feature has been a widely requested among staff here at Edge Hill University, and now all users have the ability to bulk create scheduled attendance sessions into their online register schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, staff create an attendance session within the moment that they take attendance for a session. This new feature enables staff to schedule attendance sessions for an entire semester before classes start, providing staff and students with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A clear roadmap of all sessions throughout the semester<\/li><li>Assistance to all staff in identifying sessions where attendance may have been forgotten<\/li><li>The ability for instructors to mark a student excused far in advance, providing clear insight for other staff members of any known absence. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To schedule an Attendance session, staff must go to the bottom of the Attendance setting menu within Qwickly Attendance. Here they can input the start and end date for their courses (or the first and last date of the semester), as well as the days of the week when they meet. Once an Attendance session has been scheduled, it will appear in the Attendance Record and will be immediately available for an instructor to use to track attendance.
