Qwickly is an attendance tracking tool available in Canvas. Qwickly allows you to view your attendance record, check-in during a session and, if applicable to your subject, view your marks associated with attendance.

Your Subject coordinator may choose to activate Qwickly in Canvas. If you cannot see the Qwickly Attendance link in your Canvas subject menu then your subject coordinator may be using a different method to take attendance.

Getting started

How to access Qwickly

If you do have access to Qwickly, you will be able to launch the tool from within Canvas. You can follow the steps below to launch Qwickly. If it is your first time launching the app, please read the section ‘Using Qwickly for the first time’ below.

  1. Go to canvas.uts.edu.au and log in using single sign-on (SSO). If you need help logging into Canvas, you can find more information on the Canvas support page

  2. Once logged into Canvas, select the subject that is using Qwickly for attendance recording

  3. When on the subject’s landing page, you will see a ‘Qwickly attendance’ link on the course tools navigation menu on the left-hand side of the page.

  4. Click on this ‘Qwickly attendance’ link to launch Qwickly \

Using Qwickly for the first time

The first time you launch Qwickly Attendance in Canvas you will need to provide Qwickly with access to your Canvas account.

Qwickly will automatically request access the first time you click on the Qwickly link in your course menu (see image below).

Attendance can be taken in a number of ways when using Qwickly. Your instructor may choose to record attendance manually, much like a ‘roll call’, where you don’t need to take any action. However, your instructor may choose to use student Self Check-in, in this case you will need to launch Qwickly and follow instructions to confirm your attendance.

By default, Qwickly allows your instructor to record your attendance in one of three ways:

  1. Present

  2. Absent

  3. Excused

Your instructor may also choose to create custom statuses, such as 'Late' or 'Left early'. All statuses have an option for the instructor to leave a comment. You are able to request access to this comment.

If you are recorded as Absent from the session, your instructor may choose to send automated notification emails. If you receive an Absentee email but were in attendance, contact your subject coordinator.

How to self check-in

Privacy

To take attendance, Qwickly captures student information via Canvas. The Qwickly Attendance tool retrieves all student information directly from Canvas, including:

To enhance attendance capturing and reduce lag-time, Qwickly will store student data locally so that it can be accessed more efficiently the next time attendance is taken. Any student information collected when using Qwickly is stored within Australia with the vendor under contract with UTS, in line with  Qwickly's Privacy Policy,and will be deleted after 12 months.

How to opt-out of having your data stored

Further information is available here:

Student responsibility

You are responsible for recording accurate information about your attendance and not share your access with others. Any misuse of the attendance tool, such as recording attendance when absent, will be treated as misconduct in line with section 16 of the Student Rules. For more information please read the Students rights and responsibilities policy.

Attendance records

Qwickly also provides a student-view of attendance record. You can access your attendance record at any time via Canvas.

To monitor or track attendance, your subject coordinator may also allocate a mark to your attendance. In many cases, these marks will not impact your grade. For specific details on how attendance marks are allocated for your subject, please consult your Subject outline.

If marks are allocated to attendance, you will also be able to view these marks in the Canvas gradebook once published. For more information, please view the drop-down information below.
