Project outcomes

Thanks to everyone who participated in the card reader trials.

Following on from the success of these trials the university is working to deploy automated attendance check in as soon as possible. The implementation plan is currently under development.

Meanwhile the three other objectives of the project

  • a university wide attendance and engagement policy;
  • an updated academic diligence procedure; and
  • improved tools for staff to target their follow ups on students who need it most

are all being rolled out university wide for the 2019-20 academic year, and students and staff will hear more about these through the normal communication channels.

The Attend and Engage formal pilot work has now completed as of end of July 2019. The contact mail box attendengagepilot@kent.ac.uk remains open until implementation work is finished.
