Configuring Attendance on Classes.Tyndale.ca
Record Attendance
Step 1: On your course page, click the link to the attendance activity (not the Update icon). The activity will open.
Step 2: Click the Sessions tab. The Sessions screen will open.
Step 3: On the Sessions screen, use the buttons at the top right to view sessions by Day, Weeks, Months, All past or All. (Initially, the screen will open to Week, or to the last view used.)
Step 4: Click the green circle to open an unrecorded session, or click the green back-arrow to edit a session with existing marks. The Attendance screen will open.
Note: If you leave the Sessions screen and return, you may need to click All or All past (top right) to see past sessions.
Step 5: On the Attendance screen, click the radio buttons under the columns to mark attendance (P = Present, L = Late, E = Excused, A = Absent ). (Tip: Start by clicking on the P header this will mark everyone present, then you can select those who were otherwise)
(Tip: Student can be sorted by clicking First Name or Surname)
Step 6: To record notes for particular students, type in the Remarks column.
Note: Both you and the student for whom you record a message will be able to view remarks.
Step 7: Once finished, click Save attendance (at bottom) to save your work. You will see a confirmation that "attendance has been successfully taken," and then the Sessions screen will open again.
