Attendance

Start a session

1. Open the course and select Attendance.
2. Under Start a new session, choose the session type, lecture or lab.
3. For a lab, choose the batch.
4. Check the date and time shown, then select Start Session.

Everyone is marked present by default, so you only change the students who were not.

If a session already exists for today, Easel offers Continue that session instead of creating a duplicate.

Mark students

The session opens as a list of students with three columns: P (present), A (absent), and E (excused). Select a cell to set a student’s status. Each change is saved as you make it.

A locked session cannot be edited.

Records and export

From the Attendance area, open Attendance Records for the section. It shows every past session and each student’s overall percentage, flagged when it falls below 75 percent. Select Export CSV to download the records.
