Why You Need to Automate Timetable Scheduling for Optimizing Teaching Loads

Educators know the effectiveness of scheduling and managing instructional time in higher education. Automated timetable scheduling solutions help educational institutions to efficiently manage the scheduling process across multiple courses, faculties, and rooms to save time and optimize staff workload.  Here are the 10 things to look for in an automated timetable management system:

• Manage multiple class schedules for different time periods and avoid conflicts
• Provide role-based access to authorized users
• Configure and customize a timetable that helps students plan their studies, reduce tardiness, and submit assignments on time. 
• Filter schedules based on course paper, room, faculty, session & topic
• Add topics to the scheduled classes
• Cancel a scheduled class
• Send automatic notifications to users based on scheduled/rescheduled classes or events
• Create custom user groups and assign students to the scheduled classes
• Swap a faculty and reschedule the class
• View past, current, and upcoming schedules
• Save time and money in room allocation and utilization

Solving faculty workload problem 

The timetable serves as the contact point between faculty, staff, and students. Faculty can view the details of courses for the relevant teaching period.   they can access information on the anticipated enrolment numbers in the courses offered by the department to plan their teaching sessions effectively. Automated scheduling provides a clash-free timetable and also ensures that the faculty’s scheduled teaching responsibilities don’t exceed their standard teaching times.  Allocation of duties to faculties will be applied clearly and consistently across the institute. Faculty management software is highly effective in optimizing the faculty’s workload especially when they are required to undertake research or scholarly activity of a substantial nature and allocate their term time with substitutes, without maximizing their workloads.
