Mark attendance at your live sessions, and offer flexible attendance options.

In Academy, session completion can be set up in several ways:

  • Autocomplete at session time + required learning: will automatically mark the section as complete once the session time has elapsed, as long as the learner has completed the required learning in that section.
  • Mark attendance + required learning: requires the learner to be marked as having attended the session, as well as completing any required learning.
  • Flexible attendance (mark attendance or watch video) + required learning: as well as completing the required learning, the learner can either be marked as having attended a live session or can watch the video recording of the session. For this option to show, select YouTube, Vimeo or MP4 Video in the Add Video Recording of Session field. 

 

Setting Your Session Completion Rule

Select the most suitable completion rule for your session in the Details tab. 
 

Populate the session details in the Session tab, and add reminders if you wish.

Marking Session Attendance

When you facilitate the course, sessions will appear in the Program Schedule located in the Calendar tab. Click Mark Attendance to record attendance.

Select all learners who have attended, then select Mark as Attended. Then, select any learners who did not attend and click Mark as Absent. The Attended and Absent tabs will show learners who have been marked. You can use the export button to generate a CSV file of your class list.
