Course Attendance Automation

We are looking for a way to automate attendance entries for a course. I have a Microsoft Power App that gathers the student data as they check in and puts it into a SharePoint List. I can export the data as a CSV and manipulate it as needed. Is there a way to upload that CSV file into the attendance for the course? We have 180 students in a class and manual is not a good option. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much.

Hi there @AdamBorntrager !

Welcome, and thank you for posting on the Instructure Community!

Unfortunately, there is not currently a way in Canvas to import a csv file into the Roll Call Attendance tool. This would have to be done manually, which I understand for your circumstance is not ideal.

I'm sorry this isn't the answer you were hoping for, but I hope this helps!

Thanks so much. Are there any additional LTIs that might allow this sort of functionality? I am not tied to Roll Call.

Regards,

Adam
