Overall view

In the Overall view, you can mark attendance, view attendance history and class summary statistics, and create new meetings.

Student summary in grade pill

The grade pill for each student displays the overall attendance grade with the schema you chose in the Settings panel, such as A+ instead of 100. Select student names to view summaries of their overall attendance records. You can see how many class meetings each student has missed. This view is read-only.

Overall course summary

The Overall view displays course summary statistics about your students' attendance. These statistics are included:

Add a meeting

In the Overall view, you can add more than one meeting for attendance on a day. For example, if your class met for a field trip after your regularly scheduled class, you can add a meeting and mark who was present. Select the plus icon next to an existing meeting's date to add a new meeting.

Delete a meeting

You can delete a meeting in either view, but at least one meeting must remain. You can't have an empty Attendance page. If you have only one meeting and you delete it, a new Today meeting replaces it.

Specific scenarios and the results

If you copy a course with attendance data into a new course or an existing course with no attendance data, the source course's attendance data is not copied. One attendance grade column without data is added that you can delete.

Word of Caution

WARNING: If you do NOT wish to use Blackboard Learn’s Attendance Tool, DO NOT CLICK on Attendance under Course Tools in the Control Panel menu. Clicking Attendance in Course Tools WILL generate a Grade Center column that cannot be deleted.

Access the Attendance Tool

Inside the course, navigate to the Control Panel and click Course Tools; then click Attendance.

Enter Attendance

Go to the attendance tool: Control Panel>Course Tools>Attendance. The page will default to the Meeting view and the current date (Today).

Meeting View

The default view when you come into the attendance tool is Meeting. Use the toggle switches in the upper right corner to switch between Overall and Meeting views. (Note: The scores will always display in percentages regardless of the setting because Meeting view only shows one day's attendance.)

Overall View

Attendance can also be marked in the Overall view. Again, changes are saved and posted automatically. Cells remain purple until attendance is marked.

Exempt a Meeting

If a date no longer requires an attendance grade, click the column heading name and choose Exempt meeting.
