You can access attendance records for past events in a course, by clicking on "Event Attendance" and selecting the "View Attendance List" button next to the event of your choice.
The attendance information includes:
- Staff can see the attendance information tracked by the conferencing service provider (if the service provides that information).
- Staff can see when users tried joining sessions via MEETS.
- This allows the staff to confirm a student’s claim that they tried to attend a class, but were encountering an issue from the conferencing service provider.
- Internal attendance can be more accurate than conferencing service attendance, as it will identify each user correctly, whereas some conferencing systems allow users to use a different name than their official one.
- Attendance also includes information regarding recording viewership. Staff can determine what recordings were accessed, by whom, and when.
- Improving access and playback troubleshooting, as staff can get information regarding how the user tried joining/viewing, and which browser software they were using.
- All course viewership data can be exported to CSV, which can be used by popular spreadsheet software:
