Automate attendance tracking and monitor student engagement in real-time. Build AI agents to track physical and digital participation across hybrid environments, identifying at-risk students before they fall behind.
An AI Attendance & Engagement Monitor is a smart assistant that replaces manual roll calls and fragmented participation tracking. It sits across your physical classrooms and digital learning environments to provide a unified view of student involvement.
By analyzing logins, discussion posts, quiz completions, and attendance records, the agent calculates engagement scores and proactively nudges students who are showing signs of dropping out.
Automated Attendance
Logs in-person and virtual presence accurately across all learning environments.
Engagement Scoring
Calculates participation health based on LMS interactions, assignments, and discussions.
Automated Nudges
Sends timely reminders to at-risk students via SMS or email to encourage re-engagement.
Modern education is hybrid. Trying to track student participation with clipboards and disjointed spreadsheets hurts both educators and learners.
Educators waste 5-10 minutes every single session manually calling names, taking away valuable instructional time over a semester.
A student might log into a Zoom lecture but completely ignore the course material. Manual tracking rarely catches digital ghosting.
Professors usually don't realize a student is struggling or chronically absent until midterm grades are posted—when it's too late.
Attendance data lives in the SIS, assignment data lives in the LMS, and discussion data lives in Slack. Connecting them manually is impossible.
Subjective "participation grades" often favor extroverted students, ignoring the quiet students who engage deeply with digital course materials.
School administrators spend hundreds of hours tracking down truant students and compiling state compliance reports manually.
Build specialized agents to manage different aspects of student tracking, from daily roll calls to holistic engagement analytics.
Automatically logs physical attendance via RFID/QR check-ins and virtual attendance via Zoom/Teams integration.
Tracks discussion board posts, assignment views, and quiz attempts to calculate a holistic weekly engagement score for each student.
Monitors the entire cohort to identify patterns of decline (e.g., 3 missed classes + 0 logins), flagging them instantly to academic advisors.
Sends friendly, personalized SMS or email reminders to students who miss assignments or classes, encouraging them to catch up.
Connects your Canvas, Blackboard, or Moodle instance to the student information system, ensuring attendance grades are synced without manual entry.
Generates real-time attendance reports for state compliance, or sends automated weekly progress summaries directly to parents.
No IT team required. Connect your existing academic tools and let the AI map out student engagement automatically.
Start Building NowLink the agent to Canvas, Blackboard, Zoom, or your physical check-in system. Data flows in securely and privately.
Turnkey IntegrationsDefine what constitutes "Present" (e.g., physically swiped in OR logged into Zoom for > 40 minutes).
Hybrid LogicTell the AI what healthy participation looks like—for instance, 2 discussion posts per week and 100% video completion.
Custom ScoringCreate friendly message templates. If a student drops below a 60% engagement score, the AI automatically sends them an SMS check-in.
Personalized OutreachOpen your real-time dashboard to see exactly who is thriving, who is absent, and who needs an academic advisor's intervention.
Real-Time DashboardSee how AI turns reactive grading into proactive student retention.
Educators spend 10 minutes every lecture calling out names from a printed spreadsheet or manually scanning Zoom logs.
Attendance is automatically logged instantly in the background, giving educators 100% of their class time back for teaching.
A student quietly stops participating in online modules in week 3. The professor doesn't notice until week 6 midterm failures.
The AI spots the engagement drop on week 3, day 2, immediately sending a supportive nudge to the student and an alert to the advisor.
Participation grading is subjective, often favoring extroverted students who speak up in class over those who engage digitally.
Participation grades are calculated fairly using unified data from in-class attendance, forum posts, and material views.
Administrators spend the end of every semester manually merging LMS and SIS data to generate compliance and truancy reports.
LMS and SIS data are synced automatically in real-time, allowing 1-click exports of perfectly accurate state compliance reports.

No, it integrates with them. RhinoAgents connects to your existing LMS, pulling the raw activity data and applying smart analytics to generate an understandable "Engagement Score" without requiring faculty to manually cross-reference data.
Yes. Data privacy and security are our top priorities. RhinoAgents is built to comply fully with FERPA, GDPR, and stringent institutional data governance policies. Student data is never used to train global AI models.
The agent can connect to Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Webex via API to log digital attendance (join time, duration). It combines this with physical check-in data (if applicable) to provide a unified attendance record regardless of where the student learns.
Absolutely. You can customize the tone, timing, and medium (SMS vs Email) of all automated nudges. You set the rules—for example, a supportive check-in after 2 absences, and a formal advisor alert after 4 absences.
It calculates a quantitative Engagement Score based on your defined metrics (module views, discussion posts, attendance). Educators can choose to push this score directly to the LMS gradebook or use it purely as an advisory metric for intervention.
Stop wasting class time on roll calls and guessing who is struggling. Build an AI agent to track engagement and improve student outcomes automatically.
