Certain training contexts mean that you do not always have access to your learners' email addresses.

However, there are solutions to this!

Indeed, while the first and last names of your learners are mandatory for their creation on Edusign, their email address is not a prerequisite.

You can have your learners sign without the application, of course, but also with it! Even without an email address. 🤩

In this article, you will find:

Signing without the Edusign learner application.

Sign using a shared link from the admin space.

Sign using code or link from the instructor space.

Sign your learners manually.

Sign using the Edusign learner application.

Sign using QR code.

Sign your learners using NFC placard.

You can give your learners access to the attendance sheet by sharing a link allowing them to access a virtual attendance sheet that looks like a physical one: they sign next to their name.

This solution can also be used with a tablet connected to this link that you pass around in the room.

Here is a more complete article on this topic!

Instructors can also access the last option if you have granted them access (Settings > Instructor > Code signature method enabled).

They can then share the link directly, displaying a QR code that can be scanned with the learners' device cameras (this is not the same signature method as a QR code scanned with the Edusign app). For this method again, they can also ask learners to connect to a very simple link (edusign.app/sc) and enter the PIN code associated with the session, displayed in the instructor space.

Whether from the admin space or from the instructor space, you can also have your learners sign via the Actions button next to their name on the attendance sheet.

Great news! Although signing off via QR code requires having a learner space and the Edusign application, it does not require an email address.

Indeed, your learners have a Username that you will find on their learner record. This information can replace the email address to connect to a learner space.

You can then pass on this username and their password by exporting their credentials (this export will display the learner's username and password) from your admin space (Learners > Selecting learners via the Checkbox ✅ > Actions > Export credentials).

Warning! Each new export for the same learner will reset their previous credentials.

It should be noted that signing off via QR code requires installing the learner Edusign app and is therefore better suited for longer training sessions.

Only instructors can sign off learners via QR code.

Again, your learners will need to log into the app to use this feature. But the email address is still not necessary here!

You can then provide them with their credentials as outlined in the previous step.

After equipping your rooms with placards, your learners can easily sign off by tapping with their phone.
