====== Attendance ======

//(Available since 10.2022, see also "[[en/moodle/overview/new/start|What's new]]")//

The Moodle extension "Attendance" (plugin mod_attendance) can be used to document student attendance. If configured correctly, students can record their attendance themselves and see an overview of it. Teachers can export attendance lists. 

The extension will be used on a trial basis for now, the Moodle team appreciates your feedback!


===== Create "Attendance" activity =====

Add the activity "Attendance" to your Moodle course (see "[[en/moodle/activities/add/start|Create activities]]"). Enter a name for the activity. 

===== Sessions =====

Here you can see all the sessions you have entered. Sessions for which you have already recorded the attendances are visually distinguishable from those that you have not yet recorded.

===== Add Sessions =====

Here you enter the sessions for which you want to record the attendances. As in Outlook or other agendas, you can enter one-time sessions as well as recurring ones. If needed, an entry can be automatically generated in the Moodle course calendar for each session.

===== Report =====

Here you can see the attendance report for all participants of the Moodle course.

===== Export =====

Here the attendance for all, individual groups or individual participants can be exported as Excel / OpenOffice or text file. To do this, select the desired format and click OK. You can manually adjust the date for the start and end of period by clicking on the small red calendar icon next to the year.

You will receive an Excel list with all past sessions and the respective status of the participants (A = present, E = excused, ? = absent, etc.). Sessions that are still in the future can also be included in the file by checking the box "**Include not taken sessions**".


===== Status set =====

In the "**More**" tab you will find the "**Status set**". There you can overwrite how a session can be marked, e.g. as "present", "delayed", "excused" or also "absent".

===== Temporary users =====

You can also find the "**Temporary users**" under the "**More**" tab. Here you can add additional people to the attendance record who are not enrolled in the Moodle course but whose attendance you would still like to record.
