Overview

The Attendance Management feature helps educators streamline attendance taking and reporting, create greater accountability for students and improve learning outcomes.

Step 1

Log in to your account at www.polleverywhere.com.

Step 2

Click the Profile icon on the navigation bar (on the left), then select Attendance.

""

Step 3

Under Geolocation, toggle to “Allow the location of your activities to be restricted to the areas you select.”

""

Step 4

Next, add the desired locations to allow students to check in from before joining the session.

""

Step 5

You are ready to present with Attendance Management to receive attendance. Students are required to check in when joining your presentation (i.e., pollev.com/username).
Once the geolocation feature is enabled and the location has been set, activate and present activities to start collecting attendance.

Students who join a presentation through your Pollev.com/username response page are prompted to check in with their current location. When they respond to an activity, their attendance is captured by Poll Everywhere.

Viewing Attendance

Once you’ve collected responses on the activities, view the students’ attendance through a Gradebook report. You will see a column titled, "Attendance," which captures attendance as a percentage.

Note: The percentage is based on the total number of activity questions in the report. For example, if a student responds to 1 of 2 questions, they receive 50% attendance.

If you utilize an LMS and are interested in learning how attendance is exported, please review the educator guides on the LMS.
