[ARCHIVED] Who Attended my class

[rcastano]

I have been using "Canvas" + "Conference" which open a tab and ran "Big Blue Button" for my online sessions with my classes. I need to clarify I did not use:  "TechConfer", "ZOOM", nor did I use any other variation of online meeting. I used "Canvas" "Conference"  "Big Blue Button". I used the "Chat" and had the students sign in when they arrived by saying hello which recorded their attendance. The students also used the shared notes feature.

1) Can I get access to the names of the students that attended the "Conference". 

2) Can I get the shared notes from the session.

Hello there rcastano ...

I am not sure of an answer for you, but let's bring  @ffdixon ‌ into this discussion topic in hopes that he'll be able to shed some light on this for you.  Good luck!

So is there a solution?

Can I get an attendance record from the conference session?

I realize the easy answer is no. Not worth perusing. But perhaps a better answer is not at this time, however, we are including this feature in the next update.

Hi Rober,

I am the product manager for BigBlueButton.  While I work at Blindside Networks, the company that provides hosting for Canvas Conferences to Instructure, and can't speak on behalf of Instructure, I can respond to your question.

> 1) Can I get access to the names of the students that attended the "Conference".

During the live session, you can always download the list of students by using the Save user names command.

If you are on the Premium Tier hosting for Canvas Conferences, then if you recorded the session, you'll get an additional format call statistics that gives you the full attendance of the session.

The Premium Tier hosting also gives you permanent recordings (reach out to your Canvas Success Manager for details).

> 2) Can I get the shared notes from the session.

On both the Free Tier and Premium Tier, if you record the session that has Shared notes, then when the recording is created, you'll see the notes recording format.

This will give you the last state of the Shared notes,

Regards,.. Fred
