Allow students to record own attendance using QR code

Allow students to record own attendance using QR code

by Code Profile -
Number of replies: 2

I have enabled students attendance record option.

But the problem is that the teacher forgot to open the session page or forgot to open the QR code page. After the session ends, all the students go to Absence, because the system is automatically enrolled based on the default status Absent (system auto recorded).

So I need below conditional format.

Either Student Own Attendance or Teacher Taking Attendance Default Status option should be enabled, otherwise Default Status option should be turned off.

There is something I can do changing the settings of the attendance activity?

Thank you for help!

Hi there,
You can register the attendance automatically if you setup the plugin from the plugin options within the course in the session section. I guess that if the teacher is able to see the QR is because you already did it, but there are many options you need to take into considerations to make it work propperly. Remember to also setup the attendance status, where you can enable which attendance status it must be taken automaticaly.

On the other hand, all attendances already registered can be modified from: course->attendance->session->edit.
Hope this information helps you.
Kind regards

Hello,

To automatically register attendance, you can configure the plugin settings within the course's session section. Ensure that you've set up the plugin properly, including specifying which attendance statuses should be recorded automatically.

If the teacher can view the QR code, it suggests that you've already completed this setup. However, it's important to review all relevant options to ensure smooth functionality.

Remember, you can also modify attendance records for sessions that have already taken place. Simply navigate to: course -> attendance -> session -> edit.

I hope this information proves helpful. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.

Best regards,
Kevin
