Attendance Technology: GPS
The CourseKey application detects the student’s location and confirms the student is within the geofence created by your school’s admin. You do not need to open the active attendance session in order for students to check in. The student can check in or out as long as the session is active.
Although GPS technology is automated, requiring no actions from you, monitoring the Attendance List during check in and check out is recommended to ensure accuracy:
Step 1: Log in to the CourseKey platform by going to portal.thecoursekey.com.
Step 2: Navigate to the left side of the bar – to the tab that states “Management.”
Step 3: Select the tab below that states “Courses.”
Step 4: Select the course you are teaching, your attendance session will be showing a blue “Active” button.
Step 5: The Attendance List will be displayed. On this page, you can monitor student check-ins or adjust their status by clicking on the radio buttons.
Important: If all students are encountering an issue, GPS location for the class may be set incorrectly. In this instance, you would notify your Registrar so they could reset the GPS location(s) for the class.
