Class timetable
EasyCourse
EasyCourse is the module of the EasyAcademy suite that optimises the creation and management of class timetables for students and lecturers within University Departments/Schools.
EasyCourse is the ideal solution both for those who wish to rely on an efficient and fast automatic system to generate class timetables and for those who prefer to certify and review timetables already prepared using traditional methods.
- Managing complexity
The university system is often highly structured and complex, with educational offerings that are frequently fragmented and shared among different degree programmes.
Adding to this complexity are the needs of various stakeholders: lecturers , who typically have preferences regarding the time and location of their lessons; students , who favour compact and evenly distributed timetables throughout the week; and departments, which must often contend with limited classroom availability .
EasyCourse supports university administrative staff by managing this complexity and facilitating the organisation and management of lessons, while taking into account the many variables involved. - Flexibility across different timetabling models
EasyCourse can handle both cases where the department/school’s academic office requires lesson timetables to follow a standard “typical week” (from Monday to Friday/Saturday), and cases where timetables vary significantly from one week to another , that is particularly common in contexts where the educational offer includes numerous short modules with a limited number of credits, whose lessons are completed within just a few weeks.
- Management of lecturers’ preferences
EasyCourse provides a web-based system through which lecturers can submit their preferences — including requests for consecutive teaching days for commuters, indication of unfavourable time slots, and preferred classrooms.
