Sign-up > Open Meeting > Cannot Take Attendance

In the Sign-up tool, instructors can set-up "Open Meetings" and elect to take attendance. This is not unreasonable, instructors may very well wish to take attendance at meetings that did not require sign-ups (e.g. extra credit opportunities, extra curricular events, etc.).

However, meetings configured in this way (Open and take attendance) do not actually give instructors a way to take that attendance. When an instructor sets up and publishes a meeting in this way, clicking the "Attendance" link takes the instructor to a blank screen. There's no way for an instructor to mark-off students in his/her class (or to input any manual names or notes).

I propose:

• Instructors should at least view a list of all current students in the class, with which they can mark off as having attended or not.

• Instructors should also be able to input names of attendees who, perhaps, are not in their class. This could be a manual text entry or perhaps a "notes" section where additional attendees can be recorded.
