Blackboard (http://blackboard.uscupstate.edu) can be configured to take attendance and provide participation reports for your Collaborate Ultra sessions.
Collaborate attendance reporting Based on criteria you and your instructors can set, Collaborate tracks if a student is present, late, or absent from a session. Collaborate then sends that information directly to the Attendance page in the appropriate Blackboard Learn course.
From the Sessions list, find the session you want. Select the Session options menu and select View reports. Choose the report you want to view and select View Report.
In a course, select the Gradebook icon on the navigation bar to access your Course Grades page and view your overall attendance grade. Select Attendance to open up the panel to view details of each course meeting.
As you mark students' attendance, their attendance grades are posted automatically. If you change students' attendance or clear marks, students see the changes immediately.
Accessing the Attendance Tool To access the Attendance Tool, Within your Blackboard course, navigate to the Course Management area, and click on Course Tools. With the Course Tools section expanded, click the link labeled Attendance.Aug 9, 2018
