We have attendance tool where a teaher marks the presence or absence of a student.
Is it possible to integrate some additional tools to make it automatical? For example, if our institution has fingerprint scanner or QR scanner in the class and if they pass these scanners they will be automatically marked in Canvas
Canvas doesn't have a built in way to do this but there might be a 3rd party tool which will. One that I am slightly familiar with is the Qwickly Attendance tool Qwickly Attendance | Blackboard, Canvas and D2L Brightspace Attendance and Participation Tracking with Automatic Grading . I've seen demos and heard good things, but have not actually used it.
There is another thread in the community where some data on this was summarized and might provide some help Attendance tracking alternatives (Online/Onsite)
