How It Works: Paperless Attendance Tracking with Intrinsiq

At Intrinsiq, we continue our “How It Works” series by introducing another feature designed to streamline operations for language schools and international education providers. Today, we explore how paperless attendance tracking not only simplifies daily routines but also enhances student monitoring across the board. 

Say Goodbye to Manual Attendance Sheets 

Many schools still rely on handwritten attendance records, which can lead to a few issues. Paper sheets may be lost or misfiled, and teachers often don’t have sufficient space to include detailed comments. Moreover, it becomes difficult to identify patterns in student attendance or behaviour over time. This is especially problematic when tracking the academic journey of long-stay students who remain at the school for several months. With Intrinsiq’s Paperless Attendance feature, all these challenges are effectively eliminated. 

Step by Step Guide 

Step 1: The teacher logs into Intrinsiq from their phone or classroom PC.  

Step 2: Access the current Class List.  

Step 3: View the full student roster.  

Step 4: Mark each student as Present, Absent, or Absent with Medical Certificate. (more statuses can be added, it is up to the school)  

Step 5: Once completed, the system updates instantly, and the register is marked as complete. 

Real-Time Attendance – No More Classroom Walk-Throughs 

During peak seasons or when schools operate across multiple annexes, Academic staff like the Director of Studies (DOS) often must physically verify student attendance. This is time-consuming and inefficient. With Intrinsiq, the entire attendance process is automated and accessible from the Academic Dashboard. Academic staff can: 

  • View all current absences

  • Identify students marked with specific statuses

  • Take immediate action where needed (e.g., call a host family or residence)

All without leaving their desk. 

Benefits for Language Schools and Academic Institutions 

  • Time-saving: No more chasing paper trails or walking between buildings 

  • Efficient student tracking: Understand student patterns, detect absentee trends 

  • Data-rich insights: Access complete attendance histories with just a few clicks 

  • Improved communication: Admin staff stay up to date in real-time 

  • Scalable for long-stay students: Perfect for institutions hosting students for extended periods 

By digitising the attendance process, Intrinsiq empowers international education providers and language schools to operate more efficiently, stay compliant, and focus on delivering exceptional learning experiences.
