New attendance module ready for start of term

WebBased is delighted to have rolled out the new Attendance module ready for the start of the new term. The new module builds on the existing functionality from the classic system and also introduces many new features which further simplify the process of marking registers, building timetables and viewing attendance data. All existing attendance data has been successfully migrated from the old system to the new module, ensuring a seamless transition.

The attendance reporting options which the new module offers forms a key part of WebBased’s offsite learning module; allowing the tracking of attendance and progress across sites.
