Attendance Module

Hello fellow Moodlers,

Today I would like to present you the Attendance Module.

There are two version of the attendance module:

1. Dmitry Pupinin, and
   
2. Human Logic
   

My opinion is, that Dmitry’s module is more stable.

The installation of Dmitry’s module is easy if you follow the directions provided by Richard Webb in the following post.

Those using the attendance module are able to:

• Add attendance activity
• Set attendance categories and grading options
• Ass sessions
• Take attendance, and
• Have reports.

Also, I would like to present you 2 YouTube videos created by John Locke Director of Instructional Design at Keuka College.
