My course meets once a week. How can I set up the Roll Call Attendance Tool to reflect that?
Thanks for any and all suggestions!

Hi @lenz,
The Roll Call Attendance feature "automagically" calculates a points earned value that is based on (1) the number of dates where attendance is taken, (2) the total number of possible points, and (3) whether the student was marked present, absent, or tardy.
This means that whether the class meets every day, twice a week, a rotation, once a week, or once a semester, everything is automatically calculated.
Does that answer your question?

Doug,
Thanks for responding! I think you're saying that, if I only take attendance for one day of the week, the other 4 (unmarked) days are automagically (⬅️ love that and will use it forever) ignored. Is that correct? What I really, really want to have is
Thanks again for your response!
Could there be a feature added (or maybe there is something out there already) to limit not just the file EXTENSION but the file NAME as well? For example, instead of just requiring "XLSX" extension for JoeSmith-Assignment1.XLSX, we could require "*Assignment1.XLSX" for the filename. This would ensure that students submit…
Among all the things that I wish Canvas had is that one! Is it something that is been worked on? We had it in Blackboard (legacy) and I sorely miss and need in Canvas (we just transitioned to it from Bb). Please add this very needed feature!
I have Canvas set to drop the lowest quiz score, however, my students can only barely tell that the grade text is slightly grey when dropped. Can it have a tag like the "missing" and "exempt" ones in the student gradebook?
My Canvas shell has three different sections that all meet at different times throughout the week. I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
