Event attendance - mark at

Use the dropdown menu to choose when, by default, Trainers can mark attendance for a seminar event. Select from:

• Beginning of final session
• End of final session
• Beginning of first session
• Unrestricted - mark at any time

The Beginning of... options allow attendance to be taken from 15 minutes prior to the start of the indicated session.

Seminar activity completion and grading are based on event attendance.

Session attendance tracking

Use the dropdown menu to enable session attendance marking by default, by selecting when Trainers can mark attendance for seminar sessions. Select from:

• Disabled - don't track sessions
• Beginning of session
• End of session
• Unrestricted - mark at any time

The Beginning of session option allows attendance to be taken from 15 minutes prior to the start of the session.

Session attendance marks are advisory only and are designed to help obtain an overall attendance state for the event.

Manual event grading

Trainers can manually grade learners on a per-event basis rather than using the grade that is automatically assigned based on event attendance. 

Attendance based grades include:

• Fully attended: 100%
• Partially attended: 50%
• Unable to attend: 0%
• No show: 0%

With Manual event grading enabled, Trainers can mark attendance as usual, but will also have the flexibility to input a grade (0-100) for each attendee regardless of their attendance status.

Grading method

In cases where learners are able to attend multiple events in the same seminar activity, the Grading method setting determines which event grade to use as the overall activity grade.

Select from:

• Highest event grade
• Lowest event grade
• First event grade
• Last event grade

The first event is the attended event with the earliest start time. The last event is the attended event with the latest finish time.

For example, let's assume there are four seminar events and a learner has received the grades of 50, 70, 20 and 30, in the order of seminar event date. The seminar activity grade will be calculated as follows:

Passing grade

Used by seminar activity completion to determine passing grade for the seminar.

Setting the passing grade higher than 0 enables the use of pass/fail marks on the activity completion report.

How many times the user can sign up

Select from the dropdown how many times a learner may sign-up within a seminar activity. Choose from 1 to 10 or Unlimited.

A value of 1 disables multiple sign-ups.

This setting does not take cancelled sign-ups or declined requests into consideration.

Restrict subsequent sign-ups to

Restrict subsequent sign-ups based on the state of previous signups. Enabling any of these state restrictions will limit users to a single concurrent sign-up within the seminar, as they will not be able to sign-up to another event until their current sign-up has its attendance set to one of the selected states. If none of these restrictions are enabled users can have as many concurrent sign-ups within the seminar as the maximum limitation allows.

Cancelled sign-ups are not taken into consideration.

Clear expired waitlists

The waitlist for events gets cleared when they start, allowing users to signup to a new events. The Waitlisted signup expired notification can be used to inform users about this happening.
