The attendance module makes it easier for for instructors to manage the presence of students in the class. There are three options for taking attendance:the instructor can mark the student’s attendance; the student can mark his own attendance; or Moodle can automatically mark the attendance based on a student’s access to the course.

The instructor can use the “code” or QR option to have the students mark their own presence.

1. Enter the course site.
2. Click Edit.

   

3. Click “Add an activity or resource.”

   

4. Click “Attendance”

   

5. Complete the general information

   

6. Click “Save and Display”

   

• To Add Class Sessions to the Attendance Module:

  2. Click “Add session”
