ASSIGNMENT OF SCHEDULES, CLASSROOMS AND INSTRUCTORS

u-planning assists institutions in their academic planning process.

For each course or degree plan, u-planning generates groups or sections, simulates different schedules, and automatically assigns instructors to each section based on optimization algorithms that will deliver the best possible solution based on pre-determined preferences.

Benefits

Creates an efficient and standardized process for schedule planning.
Makes optimal use of infrastructure , saves time, and provides schedule simulation for "what if" scenarios.
Assigns the best instructor based on variable criteria such as assessment, cost per hour, schedule availability and travel times.
Analyzes various simulated scenarios in minutes, facilitating decision making and delivering more efficient resource use.
Decreases overall planning time required.

Features

For future academic periods, student groups or sections are created for each subject with the minimum number of sections.
Schedules for each class are created that follow the rules and preferences established by programs or departments.
Based on availability, the best instructor is assigned to each section as a function of variables configured by the institution.
The overall schedule for a group is taken into consideration and preserved.
Travel times between building or among campuses are considered when creating schedules.

The really important development came with u-improve in the learning outcomes area. The outcome specifications are more consistent, more intelligible, more meaningful, and more available.
