Jisc Attendance Monitoring is a hardware-free attendance tool for higher education institutions. It can synchronise with an institution’s timetabling system to create session lists and attendance insights, while authorised staff can add events within institution-defined constraints. For a session, staff can see which students are expected and record late arrivals, early departures or notified absences. Students and academic staff can view attendance through dashboards or the student web app, and the service is available on Android, iOS and the web. Jisc says it can connect independently with timetabling and student record systems; institutions using Jisc learning analytics can add the attendance module with support from Jisc’s team. UKVI monitoring features include digital check-in, alerts for missed activities and exportable attendance summaries. Metrics are available by student, module and institution, with automated daily reports. The service also supports confidential staff interactions and notifying students of attendance issues at scale.
