Hope this helps answer your Canvas Attendance questions. Happy teaching and let me know if you have tutorial requests!

I love the way you allow students to check themselves in! That's so brilliant!

What a great idea to have students check themselves in

Thank you so much! Your videos are clear, informative, and so well done!

Ashlee, you are Fabulous! Thank you for all of your wonderful tutorials!

Is the attendance tab standard with Canvas? My Canvas does not have an attendance tab.

Hi Ashlee - I teach middle school and we are transitioning to Canvas this year. I have a watched a few of your videos and know these are going to be a life-saver for me as I learn the system! I had a question about your attendance video that I was wondering if you might help with. I loved your idea of having them tick off as they entered the classroom. I was wondering if there might be a way to include a function where they could select how their feeling or complete a quick self check-in as they completed their attendance. My guess is this would need to be an actual assignment, but thought I'd ask if there might be an easier way for me to see how they are starting class each day. Alternatively, is there some system where they could "check-out" as they leave class? Thanks in advance for your time and assistance!

Thank you so much Ashlee.

Is there a way Canvas checks the attendance on its own, not necessarily me checking the attendance. Say, if the student logged in within the course schedule, the student will be marked present. If the student logged in after the course schedule, the student will be marked absent. If the student logged in 30 minutes after the start of the class, the student will be marked late. Thank you very much Ms. Ashlee for creating tutorials such as this. Your tutorials help us a lot! Have a great day ahead!

I sometimes have 50 or more students (sometimes 70 or more) and want to be able to take attendance efficiently. I like the check in model. But I also want to be able to ask them questions in class or present a poll that requires some response which is kind of a way to take attendance. The problem with that approach is that some students will text their friends who have chosen not to attend and those absent students will login in (or already be logged in) and complete the poll or quiz. I realize that I can do a head count in class and compare that to number of responses but was looking for different ways to get attendance. Could be that the check in model is the best. I suppose I could combine it with the pop up test / quiz approach.

I haven’t noticed a tutorial on how to use canvas conferences among your videos, Ma’am Ashlee. Do you have one?

Really very helpful! Thanks for your clarity and great production values. One question -- is there a way to link attendance with the gradebook in case some points are given toward the final grade?

Old video, I hope you see my question. Is there a way for me to see globally all students' attendance in a Canvas "spreadsheet"? Or is it only student by student, day by day? I hate having to click back day by day. Frequently I want to see a global look, especially because my classes are T/Th or M/W, so I hate having to click through an entire week, one student at a time, for example, to see the last day of attendance for each of five or six students. Seems like there should be a way. Help!

Useful videos Ashlee. Thousands thanks for sharing. I wonder what you mean when you say "TIC YOUR STUDENTS PRESENT" with your phone...??? thanks a lot...

Great video. How do you manage taking attendance in a large online course without taking up too much time at the beginning of your class to read the names of each student?

Or could it be linked with one activity (syncro or asynchronous) in a way that as they answer the discussion box, it will be linked with the attendance. If the student answered within the course schedule, they will be marked Present. If they answered after the course schedule, they will be marked absent. I agree with what you say that with online classes, we dont pay much with the attendance but it is a need for me to monitor who are with us real time and to identify who are not with us with our activities. Thank you very much Ms. Ashlee!

I am the librarian and i would like to pull up attendance for each rotation. Is that possible?

Ill create ungrased assignment with multiple submissions. If studebts miss a vlass they can type their explanation and attach any evidence

I would like to run an attendance report for the entire class. What do I put into the SIS Student ID box? I'm only getting blank reports.

Hello, is it possible to create an individual report with the student's absences? I need to know what classes the student missed.

2024 no attendance tab😢

Hi madam. Im Rizal from Malaysia. May i know what software did you using to record this video. Thank you so much

Thank you for the video. If you create an excused or unexcused will that apply to the attendance grade?

Talk too much. Show case
