MCAST Attendance Helper Extension

Note: This Chrome extension is no longer usable since the website it was meant to enhance has been shut down. It is kept online for pure reference.

MCAST Attendance Helper is meant to be used by lecturers at The Malta College of Arts, Science and Technology. Works in basic mode by default and in advanced mode if configured.

Basic Mode: Adds a new button that counts the number or students marked as present.

Advanced Mode: Adds Autofill & Remember functionalities. Autofill Attendance is a link that automatically fills Class, Unit, Session & Duration if the attendance is being added during the lesson (day and time match). Remember allows the lecturer to save the state of attendance (Absent/Present, Reason & Remark for each student) and to automatically set them again thereafter.
