Attendance Tracking
E.Flo MD has a feature for students to confirm their attendance at events by marking themselves as present using geo-location. In order to do this, it’s important that you are using an iPad or other mobile device , which has its Location services enabled.
We have created an event in E.Flo MD to show how you mark your attendance. To begin, follow the instructions to enable the location services on your device here.
Digital Note-taking
There are many different options available for digital note-taking, including OneNote, Goodnotes, Notion, Notability, and Evernote to name a few. WSU provides access to OneNote as part of the Microsoft 365 account, but feel free to find and use whatever application works best for you and your learning style.
We highly encourage students to choose a note-taking tool before Welcome Week. Please do your own research. There will also be peer training opportunities to learn more about the different tools they use. This will help you find the best match!
Bring your iPad every day during Welcome Week and beyond!
Do Later: You may want to review which applications are backing up to your iCloud account; do that by tapping iCloud in the Apple ID menu. If you’re concerned about storage or have multiple Apple devices connected to the same Apple ID, we recommend upgrading to iCloud+ for a very low monthly cost.
