About Faculty Comments to Students

Faculty can post comments to individual students in the Attendance feature. To do so, click the Add comment icon Cancelled speech bubble icon on the right of a student's name. A comment already made that is visible to a student displays a green open eye icon. A comment already made that is private (not visible to a student) displays a red eye slash icon Display Later or Inactive red slash eye icon.

Different faculty comment icons

Clicking the Add comment icon Cancelled speech bubble icon (or green Visible icon Currently Displayed green open eye icon or red Private comment icon Display Later or Inactive red slash eye icon.) displays a text editor, allowing you to enter a new comment (or edit a previous one), insert images, add audio or video, attach files, etc. The student will see the comment in the Faculty comment field when viewing that session in their view of the Attendance feature (if the comment is marked as visible).

Faculty comment field shows comment.

To add a private comment that is not visible to the student, click the Visible to student checkbox to remove the default checkmark (make the checkbox blank).

Visible to student checkbox must be blank for a private comment.
