What is SAM? Student Attendance Monitoring
4
Why? Two main functions: Compliance – especially for International students. It is a UKVI requirement that we monitor attendance of students in classes Engagement/retention – to get early warning of problems: absences, patterns of attendance In the long term it should mean that manual attendance recording is no longer necessary.
5
Myth..? SAM WORKS! But it is only as good as the data that goes in…
6
Caution SAM is based on an employee recording system that has been customised for UWL to record student attendance – First university to use this product from Softworks – Others following – Nomenclature has not always been updated so you may see “employee” instead of student !
7
How does SAM work? SAM collates information: – Student data from UNIT-e (Columbus/MyRegistry) – Timetabling data from CMIS (Timetabling) – Card Touch events from classrooms Absence is the lack of a Card swipe when one was expected (or lecturer override) – No facility to record absence reasons Two parts of SAM: – “Flash Screen” used by lecturer to identify / confirm attendance at an individual lecture – Report facility to review overall course / module attendance by group (default) or an individual student

SAM Reports Attendance report (by individual week) – Individual student – All students in a Module – All students in a Programme Pastoral Report by all modules for a student – Default 30 weeks (Range available as option) Pastoral Report by all students in a module – Default 30 weeks (Range available as option) Access given to lecturers only after attending training (if not trained lecturer should refer to their SAO)

Time Recording The SAM recorder will only use a swipe from a UWL Student ID card – Not a Bank Card or Oyster Card etc. – Numbers cannot be entered into the terminal – A ‘Thank you’ merely means that a card has been read but NOT necessarily a valid one The Touch-in / SAM record relationship was defined and agreed by senior management
