Attendance is an activity Moodle plugin which allows the teacher to take attendance during class, and for students to be able to view their own attendance record.

• Allow editing teachers on a Moodle course to import a CSV file of sessions to a particular Attendance activity on their course
• Support repeating sessions when importing CSV file of sessions
• Support passwords when importing CSV file of sessions
• Support importing sessions to multiple courses at once using a CSV file, without the need for one minute difference in the start and end time
• Allow for the selection of 59 individual minutes and not intervals of 5 minutes

The new improvements helped in a more streamlined experience for teachers. The time and effort involved in configuring large classes in Moodle Attendance has been reduced significantly.
