Qwickly Attendance: Using Check In Mode to Take Attendance - Ultra

Check In Mode presents instructors with another option for recording attendance in their courses. If using the Check-In feature, you can elect to have a unique PIN generated for students to enter every time you take attendance with the feature. Once activated, students are responsible for entering the PIN into the tool from their device to check into class.

Note: Students cannot access the Qwickly Attendance link on the Details and Actions menu in Ultra courses or view the Check-In banner on mobile. To ensure students can access Check In on their mobile devices, place a tool link for Qwickly Attendance near the top of the Course Outline and ensure that it is visible to students. While Qwickly Attendance does provide a mobile app for students, the College does not have access to the app on Attendance Classic.

Enabling Check In Mode

1. Click Settings from the main navigation menu on the left-hand side of the screen, and click the Preferences tab.
2. Scroll down to Check In and configure the settings for PIN and Timer.
   • PIN Check In enables instructors to mandate student check-ins for class using a 4-digit PIN. Upon initiating a PIN Check In session, instructors will receive the session's PIN on their screen. This PIN must be shared or displayed for students. As students arrive for class, they must input the correct PIN to register their presence.
   • When using the timer, students are notified of how long they have to check in to class before they are automatically marked absent. The check in session will close automatically when the timer hits 00:00.
3. Click Save Settings
