Know students are nearby.
Geolocation validates check-ins within your class location. Bluetooth proximity check-in confirms that a student’s device is near the instructor’s. Both are included in iClicker Pulse and Pro.

Schedule attendance sessions to run automatically and flag students who arrive after your on-time window. Keep your attendance policy consistent with less manual work.
Notice when the habit changes.

Geolocation & Bluetooth check-ins
Geolocation: Validate a student’s check-in against the location set for your class.
Bluetooth proximity: Verify that a student’s device is near the instructor’s using a short-range signal. This is designed to reduce reliance on classroom Wi-Fi for student check-in; instructors still need a network connection to manage attendance.

Set class sessions to run automatically throughout the term. Define an on-time check-in window, then let late-arrival tracking identify students who check in after it.
