Introduction
Many school systems offer students (pupils) the possibility of choosing at least some of their subjects in
order to take individual students' interests and talents into account.
For the timetable, this means that the concept of class no longer applies in certain areas and different
student groups can be put together differently for different subjects. This eclipses the importance of
traditional class-based teaching where all students in a class have the same lessons at all times.
The timetable for the class as a whole thus has less significance for the individual student. When setting
up timetables, more attention has to be paid to the course choices of each student, and each student
consequently needs his/her own schedule.
Students timetables
The Students timetables module extends the basic functionality of Untis, making it possible to create an
individual schedule for each student.
It allows you to administer student master data , convert lessons to courses for student selection,
define course choices of individual students and also to enter which course should if possible take place
simultaneously (course bands or clusters ).
With the students timetables module, automatic timetable optimisation andtimetable diagnosistake
course choices into account and attempt to optimise individual student timetables .
The students timetables module is ideal for school systems that have a large measure of class-related
lessons but which also offer a number of optional courses.
Course scheduling
The limitations of the functionality of the students timetables module can be seen when several similar
parallel courses are held for a particular subject and a decision has to be made as to which of these
parallel courses a student should take, or when the range of optional courses is so large that it must first
be determined which courses should best be held concurrently because they have no shared students.
The course scheduling module is intended to help you with these advanced tasks. The two main tasks of
course scheduling are to determine which courses should best be taught at the same time (creation of
course clusters ) and to allocate students to actual courses when a subject is offered in several
alternative courses .
The course scheduling module, with the exam scheduling function, also offers the possibility of
scheduling tests and coordinating the resultant changes to the timetable.
The course scheduling module is based on the students timetables module, and so the license for
former includes the license for the latter.
