How to manage the attendance of students?

Course administrators in ILM can edit the attendance records of the students in a course intake and arrange make-up sessions.

To manage the attendance of students in a course intake, navigate to Course > Course intake configuration. On the Course intake configuration page, click the course intake No. of a course intake, and then click Attendance management in the left navigation.

On the Attendance management page, a module list with all modules under each academic term is displayed in the middle. Refer to the instructions in the following sections to manage attendance.

Update the attendance status

To update the attendance status of a student, complete the following steps:

Edit attendance status.

1.   Click the name of a module in the module list.

2.   Select a student in the student list, and then click Edit attendance status.

3.   Complete the configurations for the attendance status.

*Note: If the course admin wants to update and track the attendance records offline, manage the attendance list in the Offline attendance management tab. Download the attendance list to a Word file first, update the information in the file, and then upload the updated attendance list.
