QR Attendance

QR attendance for WSU faculty.
Your classes. Your account.

Add your sections and run class from a QR code on the projector. Each faculty member has a private account. Faculty accounts are created by the administrator.

How does this work?

Everything you need to take attendance in class — no app, no Canvas login, no IT setup.

Accounts & access

  • Faculty accounts are created by the administrator. Contact [email protected]
  • Your sections, meetings, and student data are completely private to your account
  • No connection to any other instructor's account

Setting up your classes

  • Add your sections with name, meeting time, room, and enrolled headcount
  • The scheduled start time you enter is used to calculate late arrivals — not when you open the tool
  • Check-ins are saved only during the class window (1 hour before start through the end of class, plus 20 minutes). Live QR still works for demos; those scans are not stored
  • Edit or rename sections anytime
  • Add as many sections as you teach

Running class

  • Hit "Start meeting" for your section
  • A unique QR code and 4-digit PIN are generated for that class session
  • Put the full-screen projector view on the board — QR code and PIN are displayed large
  • Live check-in counter refreshes automatically as students scan in

Student check-in

  • Students scan the QR code with any phone — no app download
  • They enter their student ID, last name, and the 4-digit code from the board
  • Works on any browser, any device

Fraud detection

  • Device fingerprinting flags if two students check in from the same device
  • IP logging flags duplicate check-ins from the same network connection
  • Late arrivals (12+ min after your section's scheduled start) are automatically flagged
  • GPS location captured at check-in (with browser permission)
  • Off-campus check-ins flagged by distance from Todd Hall

Reporting

  • Live view shows who has checked in as class runs
  • Investigation view ranks check-ins by suspicion score
  • Full meeting history across all your sections
  • Term overview of attendance rates by section and by class session
  • Delete any meeting (test runs, mistakes) directly from history
  • Export any meeting to CSV (student ID, name, timestamp, flags, location)
  • Attendance percentage shown when enrolled count is set

1. Add your classes

Name the section, set the room and meeting time, and enter enrolled headcount.

2. Start class

Open your section and put the QR plus 4-digit code on the projector.

3. Students scan

They enter student ID, last name, and the board code. No Canvas login.

Private by default

Your sections, meetings, and student check-ins stay in your account only.
