Qwickly Attendance Student App

The Qwickly Attendance Student App provides students with direct access to their attendance record by course view. Courses with check-in sessions running will appear on the app's home screen enabling rapid check-in. The app is required for QR check-in mode, letting students simply scan a QR code that constantly refreshes to check in for the session.

Student Activity Mode

Automatically derive attendance statuses based on academic activity with Qwickly Attendance Plus's Student Activity mode. Attendance for online courses is often tracked by looking at different academic activities a student has been asked to complete during a specific time period, such as an assignment, quiz, or discussion. A student may be counted as attending that week if they complete one or more of these items. The amount of work required by an instructor to look through all of these types of assignments is tedious, time-consuming, and still requires an entry point.

Student Activity Mode allows instructors to automatically derive attendance statuses for students based on academic activity within the learning management system course. Instructors select the relevant activities students should complete during a given period of time, then this mode automatically checks to see if students have completed the assigned activities and records attendance based on the completion of these assignments (along with notes about the activity of the student) in the Qwickly Attendance record.
