What Jisc Attendance Monitoring is
Jisc Attendance Monitoring is a student attendance service for higher education institutions, available on Android, iOS and the web. It can synchronise with institutional timetabling data to create session lists and attendance insights, while authorised staff can also add events manually within institution-defined limits. For each session, it shows which students are expected and can record late arrivals, early departures and notified absences. Students and academic staff can view attendance through dashboards or the student web app. The service can integrate with timetabling and student record systems; institutions using Jisc learning analytics can add the attendance module with support from Jisc’s team. For UKVI monitoring, listed capabilities include digital check-in, alerts for missed activities and exportable attendance summaries. Attendance metrics are available at individual, module and institutional levels, alongside automated daily reports. Jisc also describes confidential staff interactions and ways to notify students of attendance issues at scale. Pricing is on request.
