New study on university timetabling published

Oakleigh’s study into timetabling and resource scheduling for JISC has now been published through the JISC website. The study involved consultation with 59 institutions from across the UK HE and FE sectors, and:

Considers the priorities, historical circumstances and other drivers resulting in how institutions approach development of the timetable.
Characterises common approaches and associated processes for timetabling and resource scheduling.
Considers the relationship between the timetabling process and other significant processes, such as the curriculum management process.
Identifies the extent to which processes may be supported by technology available through the open-market.
Presents the most significant shared challenges facing institutions, and considers the required building blocks for a robust process.
