Features

Mark Learners Excused from Attendance

Attendance page showing new options to mark learners Excused with credit or Excused no credit

After completing an attendance check in, instructors have the option to mark specific learners as Excused. When marking a learner as excused, instructors can choose whether the learner is given credit for the check in. Excused check ins are counted based on the credit selection when exported to an Excel file or sent to a connected LMS.

Improvements

Display Full Learner Responses in Session & Assignment Reports

In the session and assignment By Question report, learner responses for short answer questions will wrap to additional lines so that the full text of all responses is displayed.

Download By Question PDF Report

The By Question option of an Assignment report showing the downloaded report

Instructors will have the option to download a PDF version of the By Question report for any session or assignment. This report includes the learner responses and metrics for each slide in the session or assignment. The PDF report processes asynchronously and the file is emailed to instructors once it is ready to be downloaded.

Additional Improvements

Updated Excel export file when downloading attendance results from a course to ensure that there are no file type or file extension conflicts when opening the downloaded file.
