Seating Chart/Roll Call

The Seating Chart/Roll Call tool is an external app (LTI) used for taking attendance in Canvas courses. The tool can be used for online or face-to-face courses.

The Seating Chart/Roll Call 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 tool in their courses, no action is required. However, if you do use the tool, students can view their attendance report through the Roll Call Attendance submission details page.

  • This is a temporary integration the LMS Steering Committee hopes may make developing required seating charts for contact tracing easier.
  • This integration will be discontinued by next summer as our current Attendance tool will develop the visual seating chart feature in 2021.
  • The tool 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.
  • You can't print a seating chart, you must take a screen shot.
