Attendance Information in the Instructor’s Blackboard Gradebook

 Each instructor should have within his or her Gradebook a column called attendance.

 §   Students are classified as Current, Active, Inactive, or  Dropped/withdrawn with Last Date of Attendance.

The student status is determined by the instructor and supported by the e-mail logs, assignment, and test columns.

 Definition of categories:

Current -         Contact is being made on a regular basis - student is current in all assignments

Active -         Contact is being made on a regular basis - however the student may be behind in submitting his/her work.

Inactive -  Contact has been lost with student

Dropped (withdrawn) -   Student dropped from course - documentation submitted to host site confirmation received

Each instructor signs off on a printed copy of the page.

 §   Inactive and Dropped dates will be included next to these categories to provide additional documentation.

 §         The Date within inactive will be last date of contact.
