D2L Essentials: Attendance

The Attendance tool allows you to create class sessions, track attendance and set cause-for-concern alerts for students who are missing too many classes. You can even share attendance information with your students to enhance accountability and transparency. 

You can find the Attendance tool in your classes now under Assessments in the navigation bar.
