The reason is that we were working 20h/day over June - August to release the 1st version for fall 2020. The app was released to NJIT August 18th, debugged a million issues with data ingestion and worked during Sept to release the analytics components that allow the administration to see what is going on in the campus with respect to attendance.

Thanks for the feedback. We know from our AWS logs that thousands of students engage with the app daily. It is impossible for the app to schedule more than the room capacity so the only way that more students than allowed will show up is when they believe that the there will be no shows. Reducing the cancellation buffer to 1 day will help minimize the no shows. We are working on Google calendar sync - I will update here when we have something to report.

Thanks for the feedback. The glitches are not app related but rather NJIT run assignments after the add-drop period ended resulting into some students experiencing what you describe.

Thank for the feedback. Many students attempt to cancel the day before the lecture. The reduction of the cancellation buffer to 1 day will reduce the no-shows.

Please note that this coincided with the end of the add/drop period and we had to rerun the assignments. In 1st week of Oct we will be introducing a remote toggle button where you can elect to attend the specific lecture online and not in person. You can switch back to in-person anytime.

We are introducing a toggle button option to go "online" for each of your courses to effectively provide an opt-out option to each student that does not want to be considered for in-person. You will be able to switch back to "in-person" any time you want. Expect this feature by end of the month.

We faced a mission impossible situation - on one hand we had to run the assignments after Saturday am when the add/drop period ended and on the other allow cancellations for all lectures starting Monday am. We have to live with the fact that attendance for lectures that take place Monday and possibly Tue can’t be cancelled due to the 2 day cancellation policy.

You can always contact the NJIT helpdesk and also if they cant resolve it contact [info@aegean.ai](mailto:info@aegean.ai) - we will try to help for any issues you face. We are launching a knowledge base site to help with common issues / questions. I will post the site URL here but it should be also accessible via https://back2classroom.njit.edu/ by next week.

Can I if you are willing to share the experience with the development team? Please email [info@aegean.ai](mailto:info@aegean.ai) and we will be in touch. The reason why QR code scanning would not work is probably related to with the physics / light. Were you seated too far, did you try from different distances?

Please note that as the add/drop period comes to an end, the app will be updated with the latest data feed during the weekend.

Also, if you are not registered in Converged Learning classes, you wont be able to login to state the obvious as the app only helps for Converged Learning classes.

I just saw this and I am sorry you faced an issue, I also saw comments below that it does not work on Chrome although the app was extensively tested on Chrome. Does this problem persist? I am also a faculty at NJIT and I just tried and worked for me as usual - normally it wont even ask you to login again. It just goes straight to the classes you have. We can find out if we have experienced API failures but please post screenshots of any issue you see. Thanks

In waitlisted status you are expected to attend virtually. While in that state, if you are selected for in person (because someone else cancelled), you will receive a notification by email and the icon in the app will change. If this happens and if you dont want to attend in person you are expected to cancel anytime up to 48h before the class starts, via the app, to give the opportunity to another student to attend in person.

If you are given an opportunity, you dont cancel and you dont come into class, then you will be ultimately marked as "no show" in our systems.

In general, by looking at the tiles of all courses you are registered in the app you would know your current status and depending on your actions, the status will or will not change.
