Attendance/Scheme issue
Good afternoon ... Our institute recently switched from Moodle to Brightspace, and I spent some time today setting up the attendance portion of Brightspace for my shop class, and I found that there was no where to add a note for a specific student regarding their absence. For example, in the scheme - rather than just using…

Students who didn't attempt a Quiz still need to be able to see solutions?
I use daily quizzes in my class as a sort of "barometer" for students to make sure they've understood the concepts for the day.
