The tool is a Flask application that Canvas launches over LTI 1.3. A
single URL serves everyone: Canvas identifies the person and course on
each launch, so instructors get the call-list and reporting views while
students get the absence form and their own history. The roster comes
from Canvas through the Names and Role Provisioning Service, which means
adds and drops are picked up automatically rather than reconciled by
hand.

Selection uses the same weighting as the manual system it replaces: each
answered call divides a student's weight by the course's weight factor
(default 2), so students who have answered more questions become
progressively less likely to be called. Each course can instead use
"cycle" mode, a rolling rotation through the roster in random order:
everyone is called once before anyone repeats, batches take the next
students in the current pass (continuing across lists and class days),
and skipped calls don't count as a turn. These, along with whether
students can see their own assessments, are per-course settings.

## Daily use
The instructor page works against a selectable date (defaulting to
today), so printing tomorrow's list a day in advance just means
switching the working date. There are two ways to run a class, per
day and freely mixed:

- **Live mode**: a "call next student" button shows who's up (photo,
name, pronouns) with one-tap outcomes — the assessment levels,
