Roll Call and How it Can Help in Your LEA

The Attendance (Roll Call) tool is an external app (LTI) used for taking attendance in Canvas courses. The Attendance tool can be used for online or face-to-face courses. Enabled at the account level, the Roll Call Attendance tool can be used by all courses in the Canvas account.

The Attendance tool always appears as a visible Course Navigation link, but it cannot be viewed by students, so hiding the link in Course Settings is not necessary. If instructors do not want to use the Attendance tool in their courses, no action is required. However, if you do use the Attendance tool, students can view their attendance report through the Roll Call Attendance submission details page.

Note: Your institution must enable the attendance tool before it can be used in Canvas courses. If you are an admin, contact your Customer Success Manager for assistance. IF YOU ARE NOT an admin, please contact your IT department or Canvas admin to have this enabled.
