Students can automatically sign in with a single tap using proximity
sign in. Proximity sign in turns an Instructor's Android or Apple device
into a “beacon”. Students will receive a notification from the AccuClass mobile app that will allow them to sign in with a tap. The student will
not be able to sign into the class unless they are within range of the
beacon device. When the Instructor turns off the beacon, they will
receive the option to sign out every student that has been signed in.
The effective range of the “beacon” depends on the type of device and the Bluetooth version of the “beacon” device.
Students must download and log into the AccuClass mobile app to receive notifications. Push Notifications and Bluetooth
must be enabled on students' and instructors' devices for Proximity Sign
In to work.
