What Attender is
Attender is an attendance registration service for educational institutions, with tools for recording attendance and following student absences. Students can check in by scanning QR codes, and staff have four interfaces for marking attendance. Role-specific views include observation lists, heatmaps, and projected absences. An algorithm highlights students who may need attention, including those close to dropping out, while rewards and gamification encourage attendance and participation. Attender works on the web, iOS, and Android, and offers a Microsoft Teams app that can automatically register attendance in online classes. It can use TimeEdit timetable data for QR check-in. Attendance data can be exported through Excel or the Attender API, including for use with Microsoft PowerBI. The paid education-sector plans are billed annually per user: Attender Standard is €2 a year, Pro is €3 a year, and Premium is €4 a year. Each has a minimum licence purchase of 300 users; sales tax and setup fees are excluded. A free demo is available by request through a form.
