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.

    Hi, would love to have an attendance session without date. Sometimes, there are sessions that don't need a date, for example, when you have a lot of groups that are having the same event, and they can mark their attendance in different dates, but the admin is using the same session to have a better control with only 1 session.

    @Juan - sounds interesting - I don't think anyone has asked for this before - I don't think it's likely I'd spend time as a volunteer adding this feature, but feel free to reach out privately if you would like to fund improvements.

    Hello! When viewing or exporting the course attendance list, can teachers or admins filter out suspended users from the list?

    I have a Program Manager that would like a summary across multiple courses. I guess would be implemented as a summary of attendance across a group of courses.

    Hi there,
    Is there a way to bulk upload attendance via CSV. We have classroom sessions that need to be captured by a facilitator after a session.
    Thank you

    @Carol, if you are using a recent supported version of Moodle with the latest version of the attendance pligin there is an import via csv button at the top of a session marking page.

    @dan. Thank you for the response. I believe that upload function is for the session i.e. date, time, etc. I need to upload the completion data i.e. student name, present, absent etc. Am i incorrect?

    @Carol - no that is different. You need to enter the individual session marking page and should see an option to import marking for that specific session via csv.

    Hi there! Is there a plugin to control not attendance of students but their activities on offline lessons?

    @Дмитрий Гогешвили - Probably best to use the forums to ask questions unrelated to the attendance plugin - thanks,

    @Alice - please make sure you are using an updated version of Moodle and the latest version of Attendance for that version - there were some bugs fixed last year that could be related to this. If you are already using the latest version of the attendance plugin, please report any issues into the github issues tracker for further investigation. - thanks!
