Taking Attendance by Groups or with a Check-In Timer in Qwickly Attendance

Qwickly Attendance offers a variety of ways to take attendance: take attendance manually using a list of students, click through students one by one, or start a student check-in session in which students can check in on their own devices.

Attendance by Groups or Sections

Qwickly Attendance allows instructors to take attendance for select groups or sections of students in a course if it has been set up in such a way.  This feature allows instructors to keep attendance when a single Blackboard course is used to maintain the enrollment of 2 or more separate course sections.

Click the article link and view the video below (cue video to 10:51) to learn more about how to take attendance by group or section.

Using a Check-In Timer

Checking in allows instructors to skip manually taking attendance and gives students credit for being in class.  Qwickly Attendance allows Instructors to set a timer for a student check-in attendance session.  When running the check-in session, this timer will be displayed on the instructor screen.

Click the article link and view the video (cue video to 0:33) below to learn more about how to enable the timer during student check-in.
