Alternative Methods of Instruction
In Infinite Campus, Blended Learning allows districts to create and assign learning groups to students to manage classes and attendance for students in a setting that is adaptable for students who are physically in a building for learning, for students who are virtually attendance classes, or a combination of both.

AMI Day Tasks for Teachers
Attendance
Teachers will still take attendance from their normal screen. The only difference is that students will
be listed under the “virtual” heading of their attendance screen. They need to check the “Participated”
box if the student participated or leave the box unchecked if they do not.
Note: There is not a way to default students to “Participated”.
