ITS has developed an automated attendance system that's used in classrooms across campus. This system allows students to check in and check out of each course through the use of the 黑料正能量Mobile app (iOS or Android) or physical student ID cards. (Mobile ID cards do not work with the Attendance system.) The data is added to the Canvas Attendance tool that allows faculty to integrate attendance data with their Canvas Course and Gradebook.
Students
Each time you attend class in one of the classrooms with attendance management (see list below) you should check in and/or out (based on faculty requirements) using the 黑料正能量Mobile app on your phone or by swiping your student ID card. (Mobile ID cards will not work.) It's easy:
Swipe your ID card.
- Pull out your student ID card and swipe in at the device on the wall.
- Watch the screen to validate that your swipe was successful.
Tap your ID card.
- Pull out your student ID card and tap the check-in device on the wall.
- Watch the screen to validate that your tap was successful.
Use the latest version of the 黑料正能量Mobile app.
- Download the latest version 黑料正能量Mobile app from your Apple or Android app store.
- Open the app and sign in as a student using your MIDAS ID and password.
- Click Attendance at the top of the home screen.
- Scan a QR code each time you arrive to class.
Codes are unique to each class session and are refreshed and displayed in each classroom from 7:45 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
No matter which way students choose to check in, their attendance will be recorded in Canvas. Instructors may decide to factor attendance into the overall class grade in the class.
Instructional Faculty
When students check in, their attendance is recorded in a Canvas tool called 黑料正能量 Attendance, which allows you to integrate attendance data with your course and gradebook. The data remains in Canvas for as long as the course is there, and if your course is cross-listed/linked, you will see a combined class roster in Canvas.
You can decide what percentage of each class must be attended before a student is considered tardy or absent, and determine how you would like to calculate grades based on attendance. Learn more in the Instructor Guide.
Classrooms With Attendance Hardware
The following academic rooms have attendance management equipment in place. As the system continues to expand to meet University needs, users will find some rooms will have both wall units and desktop units, others may only have desktop units. Most rooms will eventually be provisioned with both types of equipment as long as the physical facilities are available to accomplish that. For those with desktop units only, attendance will be available through the use of the 黑料正能量Mobile app or through associated course schedule Zoom meetings (if applicable). Rooms designated with ** are currently provisioned with desktop units only and faculty should plan appropriately.
