Attendance
The Attendance activity allows teachers to maintain a record of attendance, replacing or supplementing a paper-based attendance register. It is primarily used in blended-learning environments where students are required to attend classes, lectures and tutorials and allows the teacher to track and optionally provide a grade for the students attendance. The instructor can set the frequency of their classes (# of days per week & length of course) or create specific sessions.
To take attendance, the instructor clicks on the "Update Attendance" button and is presented with a list of all the students in that course, along with configurable options and comments. The default options provided are: Present, Absent, Late & Excused. Instructors can download the attendance for their course in Excel format or text format.
Sessions can also be configured to allow students to record their own attendance and a range of different reports are available.

It's a great tool to have a quick view of who is following the course or not !
We miss one thing : students are registered in different courses and it would be great if we had a global view of the attendance of our students on the different courses... It is easy to do it for one student but we have to check more than 250 students and more than 10 courses...
Will you have integrated tools when we'll use Moodel 4.1 ?
Are other users interested in having this kind of reports ?
Just a question: is it possible to use other "variables" (%coursename%, %username%, etc.) in notification emails?
For example is there a variable containing tha amount of hours a students has followed?
Thank you.

@Filippo - no that is not currently supported.
@Lawrence - this sounds like a possible theme issue, best thing would be to generate some screenshots and create a forum post in the forums describing your issues.
$log->statusset = implode(',', array_keys($log->statusset));
add this line of code before insert and update record function
