Can I use Collaborate to take attendance within Blackboard?
Faculty can use Blackboard Collaborate to take attendance. Blackboard Learn instructors can host a Collaborate session without tracking attendance manually.
Based on criteria you can set, Collaborate tracks if a student is
present, late, or absent from a session. Collaborate then sends that
information directly to the Attendance page in your Blackboard Learn course. Attendance from the Collaborate session is counted in each student's
average attendance in the course, which can also be used in calculating
student grades.
