The current version of Attendence is completely configurable ... you can set it up for just about any kind of daily record keeping you want. I am a face-to-face classroom teacher who uses Moodle. For my afterschool robotics club I use it for basic attendance as-is. For my CTE and project-based courses, I use it to record a daily employability grade for each student. For my math and science classes I use it to record daily attendance, participation points, and behaviors all-in-one. Lots of flexibility. One gotcha: I like to use a clear "description" for my variables so the students can understand what I am marking - the "My Settings" form only allows you to input about 7 characters, so I have to make a quick trip to the MySQL database and add my final words. But this only needs to be done once setting up each course - all the reporting automatically shows the full description.
