Timetabling for Social Distancing

Timetabling your school for Social Distancing

As you start to organise the re-opening of your school, there are many factors to consider, not least the timetable.
As experienced timetablers, we have written an 11-page PDF on his topic. It includes:

1)  Details of some of the main factors to consider about the timetable.
2) Other factors that you may wish to consider.
3) An outline of timetabling for the new situation.

In total there are over 50 ideas for you to consider.
The PDF can be downloaded free of charge from here

We hope this helps useful discussions on what is needed to re-open your school with social distancing.
We welcome all feedback and alternative suggestions, etc … please send them to letusknow@timetabler.com

Best wishes, Keep safe,
Keith Johnson

This shows the Main Menu, and Step 1 : the Basic Data screen, with five big buttons.

Each button leads you to an entry screen.

To enter your data you would start at the left, and work your way across to the right.

Look how straightforward it is, compared to other programs !

And the fully-illustrated printed Manual explains each step, in detail.

 

Subjects Screen

This is the screen for saying which Subjects you will want to timetable.

You can return here at any time to edit / alter your data.

You can give each Subject a colour – this helps during scheduling, and for the printouts.

Visual Builder Screen

This is the main screen on which you do the actual scheduling.
You can sit at this Visual Builder Screen and drag-and-drop to ‘drive’ through the timetable.
 
At first sight it looks very complicated.  To see what each part will do for you, please click on: www.timetabler.com/kb/UsingtheVisualBuilderScreen.pdf

Class Timetable Screen

This shows you the Class Timetables, so you can see the pattern while you are scheduling lessons.
  
There are similar screens for the Staff Timetables and for the Room Timetables.
 
If you use dual monitors you can see these more easily and spread them out over the bigger area.

All the buttons, and the symbols, are explained when you click on the button.

The Printout Menu

This shows you some of the possibilities for the Printouts.
 
Within each of these, there are millions of ways of fine-tuning the exact design of the Printouts.

They can be printed on paper, or produced as web-pages, at the click of a button.

A professional result.
 

The 'master' Class Printout Screen

You have total control over the design, the font and the colour, the column widths, the labels, etc, etc.
 
All the buttons and the controls, are explained when you click on the button.
