Using the Attendance Tab in Subject

The Attendance tab allows educators and administrators to track student engagement directly within the Subject platform. It provides visibility into how actively students are participating in their courses by showing either time spent in the platform or lessons completed over a selected timeframe.

This tool helps educators monitor participation, identify students who may need support, and verify student activity in the platform.


Where to Find the Attendance Tab

  1. Log in to your Educator Portal

  2. Navigate to the Performance tab.

  3. Select the Attendance feature next to Student Progress and Homework Helper.

Teachers will see attendance data for students in their sections. Administrators can view attendance data at both the school level and section level.


Understanding the Attendance Grid

Attendance data is displayed in a weekly grid format.

  • Each row represents a student.

  • Each column represents a day of the week (Sunday - Saturday).

  • Each cell shows the student’s activity for that day based on the selected metric.

Depending on your selected metric, the number shown will represent either:

  • Minutes spent in the platform, or

  • Lessons completed

This layout makes it easy to quickly review daily student activity.


Filtering Attendance Data

You can customize the Attendance view using the available filters:

Student
View attendance for all students or select an individual student.

Course
Filter attendance data by a specific course.

Metric
Choose how activity is measured:

  • Minutes in Platform

  • Lessons Completed

Timeframe
Select the time range you want to review:

  • Last 7 days

  • Last 14 days

  • Last 30 days

  • Last 90 days

These filters help you focus on the specific students, courses, and time periods that matter most.


Downloading Attendance Data

Educators can export attendance data as a CSV file for reporting or record keeping.

To download the data:

  1. Navigate to the Attendance tab.

  2. Click Download CSV.

  3. Choose one of the following export options.

Weekly Aggregate Summary

This export mirrors the grid shown in the platform and provides daily totals by student.

Individual Lesson Sessions

This export provides a more detailed view, showing each individual lesson session completed by students within the selected timeframe.


How This Feature Can Help

The Attendance tab allows educators to:

  • Monitor student engagement and participation

  • Identify students who may be falling behind or disengaged

  • Verify student activity in the platform

  • Track progress across courses and timeframes

  • Export attendance data for reporting or documentation
