Create attendance registers to track attendance for your course-based activities, such as a mandatory weekly chat session or optional discussion seminar.
Sessions are the components of an attendance register that define one or more events in your register. Your collective sessions make up your register.
For example, if you want to track attendance for a weekly seminar, you would create a "Weekly Seminar" register and then add sessions for each seminar using distinguishable session names "Week 1," "Week 2," etc. Attendance data is tracked for each session and displayed on the register's Attendance data page.
