Set up Attendance in eCampus
Before being able to export attendance data, you must set up attendance in eCampus.
In eCampus, navigate to the Control Panel and select Course Tools then Attendance.
If you want to add attendance to the Grade Center, select Add Attendance to open the Settings panel.
In the Settings panel, the instructor can alter the default settings for the Late attendance value and the grading scale for the overall grade. Present and Absent percentages cannot be altered at this time.
Present: Set at 100%. Instructors can't change the percentage at this time.
Late: Default is set at 50%. Instructors can adjust the percentage in the Settings panel.
Absent: Set at 0%. Instructors can't change the percentage at this time.
Excused: Counts as Present for scoring purposes. Instructors can choose whether to include Excused in calculations.
Export Attendance Data
In the Overall view, select the Export icon to download a CSV file with the students' student attendance records. The download begins will begin immediately without confirmation.
Attendance and Course Copy, Archive/Restore, and Export/Import
Attendance data isn't included in a course export or when copying a course into a new or existing course. The attendance option is removed from the copy and export options.
...
Export/import creates an attendance column that the instructor can't delete, but no attendance data is added.
Delete Copied Course Attendance Data
When instructors prepare a course for an upcoming term, they may copy all content, including grade columns, from the last term’s course. If they do NOT wish to use eCampus’ attendance tool in the destination course, they can delete the attendance columns added after the course copy.
In the Grade Center, open the column's menu and select Delete Column.
Collaborate Attendance Reporting
If using Collaborate from an eCampus course, instructors can choose to have Collaborate send student attendance to the eCampus course Attendance page. Students must join the session through the Collaborate tool in their course. Anybody who joins from a guest link won't have that session count toward their attendance. Attendance reporting is off by default. Instructors must turn attendance reporting on for each session they want to track attendance in. Attendance reporting is only available in sessions with an end date and time.
