[Attendance] Combine all sections for Roll Call

[shirley_scarbro]

Problem statement:

I have multiple sections for one course and want to combine them when taking attendance, rather than selecting each section individually. The current method is time-consuming.

Proposed solution:

Proposed solution: Create a drop-down section option in Roll Call that includes all students. Why: Moving from section to section searching for the students that have attended is tedious and time-consuming.

Problem statement:

Many of my courses are cross-listed (because that's how we run DCX). So, I have two sections of students in the same course. This makes the attendance roll call function in Canvas all but useless as you have to use a drop-down to flip between the two class sections to mark attendance for each separately. This barrier means I can't arrange students into visual groups like I would in other classes (because they're split into different sections). And I can't even see them alphabetically (because they're split into different sections).

Proposed solution:

Make one more drop-down that combines all sections into one class list for Roll Call Attendance.
