Navigation:  Modules > Lesson planning module > Introduction

This chapter is not just intended as an introduction but also as a reference manual for the Lesson Planning module and it therefore contains a description of everything required for lesson scheduling.

 

All Untis users will benefit from the first three sections of the Teachers’ Work chapter. They contain everything required by a timetable scheduler who also is responsible for planning the deployment of teachers. The Teacher’s Yearly Work feature, described in the final section of this chapter, is currently used mainly in the Netherlands.

 

Many planning functions such as Lesson Comparison or functions for the automatic assignment of teachers are certainly very useful but have been skipped in the initial section covering familiarisation with the system and are described later in the Planning Tools chapter.

 

Lesson planning becomes really challenging when lessons are evaluated and weekly periods are not just counted. If you have (so far) managed without value calculations, you are in the fortunate position that you can skip the second part of this manual, which is concerned with value calculation.

 

If, on the other hand, you require Value Calculation you are also in a lucky position, as you now have the valuable assistance that Untis provides. You will not require everything described here - the yearly percentage calculation is, for example, something very special - but reading through the appropriate chapters will be extremely worthwhile.

 

The final chapter Value Calculation with the Multi Week Moduledeals above all with those problems created by timelimited or other non-yearlong lessons when planning teacher deployment. These types of problems are likely to become increasingly important in the future.
