Zoom's New Attendance Tool Will Snitch on Attendees Who Are Late to a Meeting ... By Mack DeGeurin Thursday 12:55PM https://gizmodo.com/zooms-new-attendance-tool-will-snitch-on-attendees-who-1848150339
I am sure someone will come up with an App which automatically connects to the meeting and pretends you are there. ;-)
... attendance feature could make it much easier for administrators to confirm whether or not their students ever actually showed up. ...
Australian universities generally have a "don't check" policy, when it comes to student attendance in class. Only about a third of students normally showed up for lectures pre-COVID. https://missunitwocents.tumblr.com/post/123364615920/that-sinking-feeling-counting-the-cost-of-live
There is no reason why more would, or should, show up for the online equivalent of lectures. The smart institutions are replacing lectures with activities where students have to actually do something, and get marks for.
