Channel: Apereo Foundation
Date: 2021-07-16

Presented by Tomas Muller

UniTime is a powerful tool for most of the academic timetabling needs of an institution, including the creation and management of the course and examination timetables as well as student and instructor schedules. It, however, can be also very useful for making massive schedule changes due to unforeseen circumstances.

This session will provide an overview of such capabilities in UniTime, and how it can be used to make schedule changes, both small and large.

This presentation will also include a case study from Purdue University, where UniTime was essential in rebuilding both Fall 2020 and Spring 2021 schedules due to the COVID pandemic and enabling the institution to offer some in-person classes under very strict safety rules.
