Video: How to mark attendance

In this tutorial, we'll look at how to mark attendance on a live session. To do this, you will first need to link an event to a course and create a session or multiple sessions that learners can enrol on. Only once the event has taken place can you take attendance on the session. Let's find out how.

Once the live session has taken place, you can mark attendance. Select live learning from the left-hand menu. Then select the name of the event. Now select sessions. Select the session that took place.

At the top of the page, select Mark attendance. You will now see a list of users that were enrolled into the session. Use the buttons next to the user names to fill in whether the user was present or absent. You can also fill in how much time the user spent in the session if needed.

When you are finished marking attendance, select Update and then Submit to save your changes. You will then see your changes saved against each user. Lastly, you can select download roster to get a sheet showing all the users and their updated attendance.

Marking attendance on a live session will ensure that the event module in the associated course is marked as complete for your users. For courses that only have a live session, this means that users who attended the session will complete the course as soon as you mark them complete.
