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.

    • 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:
