It is widely acknowledged that attendance at lectures and tutorials is one of the biggest predictors of academic success. Technical subjects, especially, require constant student engagement and missed classes can have a profound impact on students’ performance. At the University of Limerick, the Business Studies undergraduate programmes have a significant amount of student contact time, averaging 15hrs per week. Teaching large numbers of students makes the attendance taking task tedious, time consuming, and impractical. Our virtual learning environment has great features but it cannot automate attendance taking. In this video, Niall presents how he has used an educational mobile app for taking attendance and the impact this has had on the engagement of his students as a result.
