Monitoring Attendance in Class – Large and Small – with Moodle and Mobiles

by Chris Fulton, Centre for Teaching and Learning Enhancement

One way to take attendance in a class is to have students answer a question in UMMoodle using their mobile phones. The advantages are:


An advantage of using Moodle to take attendance is that when a student answers an attendance question on their mobile device, a record is automatically created in Moodle, which is accessible to both the student and the instructor. The attendance record for the whole class can easily be exported from Moodle to a simple report in Excel.

“In addition to being used to check attendance, questions can also be used to stimulate student learning, assess student engagement and provide class feedback to the instructor.”

When a student responds to a question, regardless if the answer is correct or accurate, a mark is immediately recorded in Moodle. And, Moodle can be set up to display and remind each student of their attendance records by turning on completion tracking and adding a progress bar in the block function tool. What is more, a summary of results from the questions can be viewed by a teacher and discussed in class.

Download a quick start guide (pdf) below to learn how to set up attendance questions for your course. After creating one question, save time by duplicating it for the other classes or sessions. For help with setting up activities in UMMoodle, please make an appointment with Chris Fulton at CTLE.
