Automatic 3rd party timetable improvement
- Edval can easily import an existing timetable, which may have been already manually created by a school, then significantly improve it quickly, and for free!
- Experience has shown that in most cases Edval can re-room an existing imported timetable far more efficiently, resulting in vastly improved room quality and consistency. A school may find Edval can allocate a single room to a hundred classes that were previously required multiple rooms. In most cases the class will not need new rooms, but will find they only need to use one of their existing rooms, rather than several rooms.
- Edval can also improve room quality as well, increasing occupancy in some cases, or more fairly allocating science labs to double period classes where there may not be enough labs for all classes at once. This process has a very low timetable disruption effect so can be easily conducted mid-year. Classes do not get new rooms or periods, they just get some rooms more consistently than before!
- This service has educational benefits and administrative efficiencies. The process can increase room quality by better distributing specialist rooms or even considering teacher home room requests. Room quality and consistency means a more stable learning environment for your students.
- A more advanced service can improve class spreads automatically. Like rooming improvements, this can offer a very small degree of timetable change, but which can have a big effect. It is suitable for a mid-year timetable update as the vast majority of classes remain unchanged. Edval can make incremental spread improvements so you can accept a lot of change or perhaps just enough to resolve a problem with your Yr8 Science doubles.
- This service is both very fast and very inexpensive, but can make a big difference to the learning environment of your students. Edval is the only timetable company offering this unique type of service.
