Activities: Attendance
Dan Marsden, 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.

According to the "attendance register" plugin description the "Attendance Register.. automatically calculates time spent online in Moodle's courses" and is different to the "attendance" plugin (this plugin.) - I don't personally know anything about it. The screenshots on that plugin entry might help you to see what it does.
This plugin allows you to track attendance values like Present/Absent/Late against a specified time/date/session. You can enable automatic marking, student self-marking or manual teacher marking.
For further questions about the plugin please use the community forums on moodle.org. (or install the plugins and try them out to see if they meet your needs.)
I haven't been able to find anything about this. It's hard to believe it might be by-design. Perhaps I'm missing something. Any info would be great.
Thanks... Brian
Course Groups Date from: to: Description Repeat on Repeat every Repeat until
our-course a group 07/24/18 18:00 21:00 Lecture Tuesday 1 09/25/18
But when I upload it to Import sessions, it only creates a single attendance session - the repeat does not work.
What are we doing wrong?
thanks for any help
Moreover, I set a value for each status (1.7 because it is mandatory to attend to 12 sessions and the total is 20), and I set the maximum value to 20. But when after the first session the students are graded to 20. I should they received 1.7 for the first session. Something I missed ?
Please make sure you include more information about the notification you are seeing, the Moodle version, attendance version etc - I'm not quite clear on what you mean by "notification" so please make sure this is clear in your forum post.
why instructor can't use the attendance plugin via moodle mobile application ?
I have been playing and can only get the module to add to calendar if the the default "create calendar events is set to yes" If I have it off/no then even when I check the session to add to calendar it does not. We would like to have it set to not and us choose it when we want to send to calendar. This way it is safer for staff and the description kind of reads that if set to yes then all appointments got to the calendar. (is this correct?)
Also we have a quite complex calendar upload already and from a request to students we hav a set number of items in the Title. group, session, time, room. When attendance adds a calendar item it just calls all of them attendance. How tricky would it be to make the calendar entry from the attendance module also have a title? Then as per student requests they can ascertain all important info on their phone without having to open the calendar item.
Thanks again

can you please create a new post in the forums here: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=741 The comments area here in the plugins db is pretty useless for this sort of thing! - please also make sure you include information about which Moodle version you are using and which version of the Attendance plugin you have installed? Thanks!
