Qwickly Attendance Classic | Blackboard, Canvas and D2L Brightspace Attendance and Participation Tracking with Automatic Grading

Take Attendance

Qwickly Attendance Classic offers a variety of ways to take attendance: take attendance manually using a list of students or click through students one by one, start a student check-in session in which students can check in on their own devices or integrate with USB card readers for reading student ID cards with a variety of card readers for an extra layer of verification. Review additional details about all attendance-taking modes.

Attendance Styles

Qwickly Attendance Classic offers multiple attendance styles. Instructors can see a list of all students and work down the list or have Qwickly Attendance Classic show one student at a time as they call off names.

Student Check-In

Instructors can allow students to check in to class on their own devices. Checking in allows instructors to skip manually taking attendance and gives students credit for being in class. For extra security, Qwickly Attendance Classic can automatically generate a 4 digit pin for students to enter.

Card Reader

Qwickly Attendance Classic includes a card reader mode, which allows instructors to take attendance for large courses with a swipe or tap of a student's ID card. This is done by using a USB card reader that is hooked up to one or more computers. Students will swipe or tap their existing ID cards to be counted as present. This mode is included with every license of Qwickly Attendance Classic. We don't require that you use any specific card vendor in order to use this mode, instead we have a quick configuration process that should work with nearly any card vendor.

Automatic Grading

Automatic grading allows participation or attendance to be graded and always up-to-date during the semester. This feature creates a single grade column that is automatically maintained and updated immediately upon taking attendance or from editing the student's record. This can be customized by the number of points attendance is worth. Instructors can also enter a value for the whole semester up front or a number of points each session is worth.

Attendance Statuses

Qwickly Attendance Classic provides power and flexibility with attendance statuses. Three attendance statuses are built in (Present, Absent, and Excused) and others can be created for all courses or individual courses. Each status has an absence weight and points attached to provide basic options like late or tardy all the way to building complex participation scales. This enables faculty to set items as partial credit, award bonuses for going to study sessions and create participation scale (i.e. 1-5 points per day).

Present

Worth 100% of the sessions points and 0% of an absence.

Absent

Worth no points and a full absence for the session.

Excused

Excuses the student from the session, gives no points and no absence.

Custom

Create tardy, left early, extra credit, participation statuses or any other status you can imagine.

Basic Attendance

Take attendance with absent and present.

Customizable Statuses

Take attendance with tardy and extra credit statuses.

Student Participation

Track participation on a 0-5 point scale.

Record Keeping

Students have a unique view of the attendance screen, allowing them to see their own record, helping them stay on track of any attendance policies. Of course, they are not able to see the record of any other student.

Attendance Record

Easily change a student's attendance status to correct an error or report an excused absence by clicking the cell for their record.

Status Summary

View totals of each status for all students at a glance in the Status Summary view to easily identify the number of presents, absences, tardies or other statuses accumulated.

Absence Statistics

The Attendance Record shows the aggregate number of absences for each student. This includes custom statuses that may give students partial absences, such as tardies.

Export

Save an attendance record to your computer that can be opened by Excel or other spreadsheet software.
