In a live online class nobody needs to take a register. When a student presses Join inside the class window, the portal marks them; for classes the portal scheduled on Zoom, Zoom then tells the portal when the student joined and left, and the mark follows.
How a mark is set
- PresentJoined from the join window (15 minutes before the start) up to 10 minutes after the start.
- LateJoined more than 10 minutes after the start. Counts as present for certificates.
- Left earlyZoom classes: left 10 minutes or more before the end with less than 75% of the class attended in total. Joining again counts again.
- Present (replay)Opening the replay of a class marks it attended, unless it was marked Absent or Left early.
Your marks always win
- Change any mark from the class's Attendance in your live class's Curriculum tab. A mark you set by hand is never changed by the join button or Zoom.
- Every change, automatic or by hand, is kept in the class's edit history.
Recorded courses
Recorded courses have no classes and no attendance: a student's progress through the lessons is what counts.
On-campus classes
In-person classes have no join button: the teacher takes the roll call. See Taking attendance on campus.
