We appreciate the research conducted by Mondal et al. (1) which explored how a new attendance system, students’ engagement during the collection of attendance (SEdCA), could be utilised to improve examination performance in medical students based in India. They found that participating in SEdCA improved anatomy test scores in 63 out of 93 students. They investigated how SEdCA couldbe repurposed outside of taking attendance and we commend the authors for this contribution tomedical education.
