How can I record student attendance in my course site?

Attendance can be tracked manually in Blackboard using the Attendance tool or automatically using a Student Response System. 

Another popular option would be to use a Student Response System such as iClicker or Acadly's attendance tool.

Original Course View:

Some instructors take attendance by creating a column in the Grade Center and manually entering the attendance data.
 
Additionally, there is a Blackboard attendance tool, where a student's attendance can be entered manually and tracked in the Grade Center. Intructors can access the attendance tool in the Control Panel. Access this link for more information: https://help.blackboard.com/Learn/Student/Original/Grades/Attendance
