FastTrack: Canvas Admin - Ep. 10 Attendance Tool

[lstark]

The "FastTrack: Canvas Admin Video Series" is a quick video guide for Canvas Administrators to learn about a few of our admin level tools and how they can be shared with Instructors and Students. This series is designed to continue to help with driving adoption and engagement of all the features of Canvas.  We will present a new 2 1/2 - 3 minute video to the Community. Everyone is encouraged to reply and share their personal insight, experiences, and advice.

Episode 10 is a 3 minute video about the Attendance Tool.  This tool can be enabled by your Customer Success Manager, it will appear in all courses in your Canvas instance but can be disabled for courses that may not use the tool by simple disabling it from the Course Navigation.   So with that in mind, it may seem limited to what it can do and may not meet all of your institutions needs.

This video is currently being processed. Please try again in a few minutes.

I don't know if our district will use this tool, but I can see it has some useful features.

How to enable Attendance Roll Call in FFT version?

I have used Canvas in 3 universities in the U.S., and now I am using the Free-for-Teachers version for some beginning English classes in Nanjing, China. 

I love the many tools available in Canvas!

I have a large class (77 students) and I want to use the Attendance Roll Call feature but it does not show up under Attendance. Does it have to be enabled? How do I enable this in this FFT version?
