We are using a product called CI Solutions in order to track positive attendance. CI Solutions is operational and students are able to track their positive attendance hours.  However, we are are still in the implementation stage of this product.

Locations

A CI Solutions tracking station is located in each of the following rooms: OE-2; OE-3; Learning Center; NH-1; LA-7; LS-7; PE

Classroom Tracking Procedures

  1. If the CI Solutions screen is not up, a faculty or staff member must log in using the "ciuser" or "swiping" user name and password.
  2. At the CI Solutions prompt screen, students can swipe their card or enter the LAST SIX digits of their student ID number.
  3. The student must select the class they want to track hours for. Important: please inform students that they can only track hours for classes that are offered in that location; falsely reported hours are easily trackable and will not be counted.

Manual Entry Procedures

  • In the classroom:  clicking on the "Data Browser" button will allow you to manually enter student time.  Please use the "ciuser" username and password to manually enter data.

  • From your office: click here, and log in using the "ciuser" username and password to manually enter data.

Reporting Procedures

  1. Click here to access CI Track from any campus machine.
  2. Log in using our "ciuser" name and password.
  3. Select and run the appropriate report
  4. We will be creating customized reports throughout the semester.

Training

We had initial trainings on 8/29 and 9/9. Both were well attended. We will continue offering training during Tech Drop In Trainings on Fridays. There have no responses to additional inquiries for training, and it appears faculty are able to collect their data.

Current Projects

  2. Tracking incompletes
  3. Local machine installation
  4. Room based course display
