Automating Class Attendance To Drive Academic Success
Join our webinar to discover the value of monitoring attendance at your institution
About the Webinar
About the webinar
Many studies1 have been conducted to determine the impact of attendance on academic performance in higher education. Most conclude that higher attendance levels correlate to superior performance and conversely, a significant link exists between absenteeism and learning.
However, taking attendance manually has proven historically challenging, burdensome, time-consuming, error prone and frustrating for faculty members and administrators.
Join this upcoming webinar to learn how automating attendance tracking can increase efficiencies, identify at-risk students and enhance the probability of academic success for students.
We will demonstrate how monitoring attendance is easy for faculty and provides a simple way for students to check in via a quick tap or swipe of their student ID. Not only does this minimise faculty and class disruption, it allows you to understand more about student behaviour, engagement and activity.
