Event Attendance can be taken within a Course.
Using an attendance password, Students can verify their attendance to the Event. Once the Event is over, Faculty/Staff can view a report that shows what Students were in attendance to the Event.
NOTE: Attendance is defaulted to be recorded up to 10 minutes prior to an Event, and up to 15 minutes into an Event. These values can be changed in the Account Manager Settings.
