What it is

Jisc Attendance Monitoring is a hardware-free attendance system for higher education institutions, available on Android, iOS, and the web. It synchronises with timetabling data to create session lists and attendance insights, while authorised staff can add events within institution-defined constraints. For each session, it shows expected students and records late arrival, early departure, or notified absence. Students and academic staff can view information through dashboards or the student web app. Jisc says the standalone service integrates with timetabling and student record systems; institutions using Jisc learning analytics can add the module with support from Jisc’s team. UKVI monitoring functions include digital check-in, automated alerts for missed activities, and exportable attendance summaries. Attendance metrics are available at individual, module, and institutional levels, with automated daily reports. The service supports confidential staff interactions and notifying students about attendance issues at scale. Jisc states that it falls within its ISO 9001 certificate scope and holds Cyber Essentials certification.
