RIO Challenge v4 - C05.05 - Taking Attendance

When a Study Session takes place, faculty members are responsible for recording student attendance to ensure accurate participation tracking and compliance with academic requirements.

In RIO Education, attendance is managed through the Student Attendance feature, where faculty can take attendance directly from the Experience site and have the records automatically reflected in the system through Study Event Relations.

In this challenge, you will log in as a faculty member, take attendance for a scheduled session, and verify that the attendance details have been correctly updated for each student.

Learning outcomes

1. Understand how faculty record student attendance in RIO Education.
2. Learn how attendance entries are linked to Individual Session Enrollments.

What does success look like?

1. All students in the session have their attendance accurately recorded. 
2. The Study Event Relation records display the correct check-in, check-out, and attendance status values.
