Using a proximity sign-in via Bluetooth

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 “proximity scanner”. 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 proximity scanner device. When the Instructor turns off the proximity scanner, they will receive the option to sign out every student that has been signed in.

The effective range of the “proximity scanner” depends on the type of device and the Bluetooth version of the “proximity scanner” 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.

Activating the proximity scanner

1. Log in to the AccuClass mobile app as an Instructor

2. Tap on Roll Call - In/Out

3. Select the class that students will be signed into

4. Tap on the Proximity Sign In icon

5. The proximity scanner will activate and students will receive this notification. Tapping the notification will sign the student into the class.
