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.
This would be really useful!

I tried to customize the language package for attendance.php; while everything else worked ok, I was not able to change the Aacronym and Pacronym. I wonder why? Have you tested this and what could be the reason for all the other customizations to work except these two?
Thank you in advance for looking into this.
The values of Aacronym, Eacronym, Lacronym, and Pacronym are all hard-coded into the php script in the version that I examined (line 32 in attendance/db/install.php) and the values of Aacronym, Eacronym, Lacronym, and Pacronym that are given in the language file are not used. So to change what is displayed to the user, a person would have to go into the code and change the code (which probably would not be too difficult).
