Once you have configured the Attendance tool, Roll Call Badges are a versatile way to make quick notations about your students using the Roll Call attendance tool. For example, you can quickly mark when a student is disruptive or actively participating in the class so that you have a record of that student's activities.
You can add and manage any course-level attendance badges in any student's attendance information profile. New badges are always available to all students and will not/cannot be created for individual students. Badges may be created, however, that are only applicable in certain circumstances such as "Absent due to death in family" or "Absent due to school-sanctioned activity."
Canvas admins have the right to delete any course-level badges that may be considered inappropriate.
Note: Roll Call Attendance Badges are not visible to students.
Manage Badges
To edit any existing badge you created for your course, click the Manage badges link.
Note: When managing or editing badges, any changes made will affect the entire course, not an individual student. Additionally, you cannot manage any badges created at the account level.
To change the badge name, icon, or color, click the badge name [1].
To delete a badge, click the Delete button [2]. Deleting a badge will delete the badge for the entire course and all students.
