There’s a new tool in Blackboard for tracking attendance, Qwickly Attendance. You may have noticed the link under course tools in the course Control Panel (see image on right).

Qwickly Attendance provides two ways to capture attendance data. First, you can manually enter whether a student was present or not in your class.

Alternatively, you can provide a passcode in class for students to login and record their own attendance. You open attendance at the start of class, set a time limit to when students must check-in, and students validate their presence by clicking on an attendance link you place on the course menu, entering the code you provide, and clicking the “check-in” button.
