|-

| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Open the '''browser''' and type [https://moodle.org/plugins/ https://moodle.org/plugins/]

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Highlight the filter section
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| The page has filters based on '''Purpose '''and''' Plugin Type'''.

|-

Click on the '''search''' button.
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Type '''attendance''' in the '''search''' box and click on the '''Search''' button.

We see that there are multiple '''plugins''' having this keyword, either in their title or description.

| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Click on '''Attendance plugin'''.

| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| To verify that you have clicked on the same '''plugin''' that I mentioned, check the title on the new page.

It should say '''Activities:Attendance '''as the title.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"|
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| This '''plugin''' allows a teacher to keep an '''attendance log''' in '''Moodle'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"|
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Before installing any new '''plugin''', ensure that it is available for the '''Moodle''' version you are using.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Click on '''Versions'''

|-

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.106cm;"| Highlight the description text box.

It also mentions prerequisites for using the '''plugin''' and the usage instructions, if any.
