< All Topics

Overview

You-Attend integrates seamlessly into your Brightspace course and automates attendance tracking across modalities. Use the PIN-based In-Class mode for face-to-face sessions, or Online mode to automatically log participation in virtual environments. Manual mode remains available for hands-on adjustments. Customize attendance codes and sync everything with your Gradebook for efficient grading. The intuitive interface means you spend less time on logistics and more time on instruction.
