Toolin’ Around: Blackboard Attendance Quizzes

Welcome back to Toolin’ Around! We have something that may help keep your attendance reports up to date.

Toolin’ Around Tip: Creating a simple quiz in Blackboard will allow students to be marked as present in your attendance reporting. [Only for curriculum courses marked as Online or Hybrid] 

[This simple attendance “Quiz” does not substitute for student submissions of scholarly activities and is setup only for attendance reporting]

Benefits? This helps streamline your workload as you don’t have to manually mark students present. You can also utilize an assignment or any other assessment as long as it has a grading column. The idea is that you are using the quiz assessment as your attendance/roll call for each week, which will connect to your attendance report automatically (again as long as you have an Online or Hybrid curriculum course).

NOTE: You still are required to certify your attendance reports in your Attendance Entry each week.
