Lesson Scheduler Module Documentation

Session Scheduling

The Session Scheduling feature enables users to create and manage live sessions with detailed parameters such as dates, times, durations, and session types (e.g., lectures, office hours). It supports multiple time zones and recurring schedules, allowing flexible and efficient planning.

Recurrence Rules

This feature allows the setup of repeating sessions based on defined intervals—weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. It automatically generates session entries while considering school holidays or breaks if integrated with other modules, reducing manual workload and ensuring consistent scheduling.

Conflict Detection

The system checks for time overlaps when creating a new session, preventing conflicts for the same user (student or instructor). If a conflict is detected, it alerts the user and prevents scheduling, ensuring smooth coordination of schedules.

Availability Slots

Instructors can define blocks of available time for meetings or consultations. This feature streamlines the arrangement of office hours or one-on-one sessions without manual back-and-forth, enhancing efficient communication.

Assignment Deadlines

Linked to specific lessons, this feature sets due dates for assignments, helping students stay organized and instructors manage their workload effectively by tracking task deadlines.

Notifications

Automated reminders are sent via email or in-app notifications about upcoming sessions and approaching deadlines. This reduces last-minute rushes and ensures all parties are prepared.

Resource Management

Assign learning materials to specific sessions, making it easier for students to access necessary resources at the right time, thereby enhancing their learning experience.

Reporting & Analytics

This feature collects data on session attendance and student performance metrics. It provides reports that help instructors assess teaching effectiveness, identify trends, and make informed decisions about course structure and content.
