We're thrilled to announce a significant improvement to the Qwickly Attendance launch point within Blackboard Ultra, providing a more seamless experience for both students and faculty. A new launch point has been added to the right-hand menu, making it easier than ever for instructors to access and use the tool.

This update addresses a common request from our users and has been eagerly anticipated. Terry Patterson, Senior IT Systems Analyst of Austin Community College, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "This is a fantastic feature that will make Qwickly Attendance more accessible to students and faculty in every Ultra course."

Instructors will find the Qwickly Attendance launch point in the right-hand menu of their Blackboard Ultra course. Please note that this feature must be enabled at the administrative level.

Blackboard Ultra administrators that want to enable this integration should check out our knowledge base article. The name of the launch point can be customized to suit your institution's preferences. This flexibility ensures that it's easily recognizable by instructors.

Check-In Banner in Blackboard for Students: 

Prior to the recent UEF updates, students had to actively launch Qwickly Attendance to mark they were present in class. This added an extra step to the attendance process. However, with the new enhancements, Qwickly Attendance now includes a convenient check-in banner directly within the Blackboard Ultra course interface.
