“…Poor attendance is concerning as class attendance is often predictive of grades in higher education and is strongly predictive of failure rates ( 37 – 39 ). For example, 1 study of nearly 1,000 undergraduates reported that course failure rates dropped by 80% for students who attended at least 75% of class sessions for a course ( 38 ).…”

“…Mandatory attendance is one method to increase class attendance ( 37 ). However, students often report that mandatory attendance policies would not improve their educational planning and, therefore, class attendance ( 41 , 42 ).…”

“…Course format and delivery have been identified as important factors in determining student attendance in higher education ( 41 ). Designing a course’s curriculum and assessments to motivate students to attend class, such as including activities that foster interaction during class time for instance group discussions and other activities, has been recommended ( 37 ). These types of activities will encourage peer relationship building and build a group affiliation among students ( 43 ).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic led to suspension of in-person learning at many higher education institutions (HEIs) in March 2020. In response, HEIs transitioned most courses to online formats immediately and continued this mode of instruction through the 2020-2021 academic year. In fall 2021, numerous HEIs resumed in-person courses and some hybrid courses, and faculty began noting academic-related behavior deficiencies not previously observed in students. Focus groups of teaching faculty (n=8) from one university department were conducted to gather information on changes in student academic-related behaviors attributed to the disruption of teaching and learning due to COVID-19, and to compare observed deficiencies with the university's undergraduate learning goals. Mind mapping software was utilized to capture themes and subthemes. Identified themes were related to: problem-solving skills, grades, time management, attendance, and interpersonal communication, both in terms of student-to-student and student-to-faculty communication. For these identified areas, outcomes during the return to in-person learning were mostly undesirable. Based on these identified issues, suggested modifications that HEIs could use to modify course content and delivery to offset skill gaps and improve interpersonal communication were identified. Furthermore, observations may indicate that fully remote learning inhibited student learning and skill development during the 2020-2021 academic year. Future work should examine the effectiveness of the proposed modifications on student success.

“…The methodologies used in the literature to analyse the relationship between class attendance and students' academic performance can be classified into three groups (Karnik et al, 2020). The first group includes studies that use correlations to examine the linear relationship between these two variables (Credé et al, 2010;Gough et al, 2021).…”

Academic literature has extensively studied the relationship between classroom attendance and academic performance in higher education. However, there is a lack of specific studies on higher education in tourism. To address this gap, this study investigates the correlation between class attendance and grades achieved by students in the Tourism Degree programme at the University of Zaragoza. The research incorporates variables of interest such as gender, academic year and course repetition, significantly contributing to the proposed predictive model. The subgroup analysis shows that women and students who do not repeat courses exhibit higher attendance rates and achieve better academic outcomes. Class attendance and course repetition are the most influential factors affecting students’ final grades.

“…Students' attendance and absenteeism have long been a contention for educational institutions (Ezeofor & Georgewill, 2020;Kovelan et al, 2019). In several studies, class attendance has been linked with students' academic performance and has affected learner graduation (Chenneville & Jordan, 2008;Karnik et al, 2020;Nordmann et al, 2019).…”

Aim/Purpose: The Internet of Things (IoT) application modules have covered diverse sectors, and the educational domain is no exception. In this survey, we discuss the specific application benefits of IoT in education and further examine implementation challenges in Ghanaian tertiary institutions. Background: This survey examines pertinent applications for IoT benefits in education and offers present and future opportunities to enhance educational outcomes. The survey includes anticipated IoT technologies that will have a significant impact on education. Each module contains concise definitions accompanied by analysis and application-specific relevance. Methodology: In order to accomplish the objectives of the survey, a search review was conducted across relevant databases, including Scopus, Hindawi, IEEE, MPDI, ScienceDirect, Informing Science Institute, Springer, and Wiley. In addition, a thorough search was carried out using Google Scholar to cover all relevant repositories. The phrases and keywords for the search were made up of five categories. The literature search resulted in 300 articles, of which 200 were considered relevant for the survey. Of the 200 articles, 95 of them shared common themes and discussed the same application integration and challenges. Contribution: This paper discusses the revolution involving IoT deployments in education and covers many aspects of the educational domain. Findings: IoT integration in education will transform Education 4.0 and improve learning outcomes significantly. Recommendations for Practitioners: Educational institutions are to embrace IoT integrations even with the emerging Education 4.0 and Industry 4.0 use cases. Recommendation for Researchers: Educational IoT is the next big thing and research directions on unique use cases for educational institutions are eminent with 5G and other disruptive technologies. Impact on Society: Effective IoT implementation in education will positively affect all stakeholders in the educational ecosystem and create a society with much access to information, connectivity, and convenience. Future Research: To survey the integration of blockchain-based IoT applications in education.
