Attendance kiosk (device)
The screen a classroom device shows after "Log Out and Start Kiosk" — students scan their ID or type their student number, or tap their name, to be marked present or tardy.
What this screen is for
A faculty member opens a meeting's attendance page, clicks Log Out and Start Kiosk, and the device signs out and shows this page for that one meeting. Nobody can reach the staff pages from it. Students mark themselves; the kiosk closes by itself when the configured time passes, and the × stops it and returns the device to the sign-in page.
On this screen
- Attendance will start at … — before the configured start time (Configure… on the meeting page; 15 minutes before the meeting when blank).
- Scan your ID or enter your student number — a scanner's keystrokes or a typed number; Mark present records it. After the Tardy time the mark is Tardy.
- Name tiles — a tap marks that student; a green tile is already marked.
- Marks are taken until … — the Absent time; after it the kiosk reads "Attendance is closed — see your instructor".
- × — stops the kiosk (the link stops working) and sends the device to the sign-in page.
