If you are holding an online class, event, or webinar (with ) and would like to track attendance, there are two ways for you to do so (and an easy way to check out, too).
1. Display the self check-in QR code on your event presentation
-
First, students/attendees need to download the mobile app prior to your event
- We also advise you to send them an email to explain why they need to download the mobile app before your class/event. -
Go to your Upcoming Events listing
-
Select the event you are going to present
-
Click on the QR code to open it
-
Save it and paste it on the first slide of your presentation to allow students/attendees to scan it at the beginning of your virtual event
-
Attendees will use the scan function of their mobile app to scan the QR code on the screen, and just like that, they are checked in
2. Use a dynamic QR code for self check-in
You can also let students/attendees self check-in by scanning the refreshable QR code.
-
Go to Track Attendance
-
Select Self Check-In QR code
-
You will have the option to use a refreshable QR code by selecting the Refresh QR Code every 10 seconds link
-
-
Students/attendees can then scan the QR code with their phones using the mobile app
This option aids in discouraging students from skipping the event/meeting. CampusGroups software refreshes the QR code every 10 seconds, preventing students from taking a photo and sending it to friends.
3. Use the self check-out feature
You may also want to track that students attended your event or class until the end. In this case:
-
Go to the Attendance Tracking Options settings
-
Set the Aactivate Self Check-Out option to Yes
