The Scheduler module helps you in scheduling appointments with your students. Teachers specify time slots for meetings, students then choose one of them on Moodle. Teachers in turn can record the outcome of the meeting - and optionally a grade - within the scheduler.

Group scheduling is supported; that is, each time slot can accomodate several students, and optionally it is possible to schedule appointments for entire groups at the same time.

Please note that minor updates to this module will normally be released on github only.

For help and discussion about the module, including feature requests etc., please use the Scheduler forum on moodle.org or the bug tracker. Please don't use the comment section below for that, queries might go unanswered.

For an earlier version supporting Moodle up to release 1.9, see the Scheduler 1.9 module.

Hi, just a question about Scheduler's compatibility with the new Moodle 4.3? Can it be used (I plan to ask the same on the forums)? Will there be an official update sometime soon?
Thanks, again and again, for this great plugin !

I really miss the ability to send messages to students who have already booked an appointment. I can only send messages to students who have not yet booked, but I cannot reach those who have already booked. Please add the message broadcast for all dates, but also for just selected dates, or for a single Student.

Hey Henning. Thanks for the plugin - I've been using it for close to 10 years now!
I've changed my workflow, though, and I was wondering if there could be an easy way to upload a pdf for each appointment in the scheduler (in the "Notes for appointment section"): tinyMCE doesn't seem to support it - I get an error when I try to drag and drop a pdf.
The reason I'm asking is because I'd like to write on my tablet when listening to individual students & then upload my notes for them in each booked slot, and this seems impossible right now in moodle / tinyMCE / the scheduler. Any help appreciated.

Hi Sébastien. Don't know about tinyMCE but with Atto there's a file drag & drop plugin that I've been using: https://moodle.org/plugins/atto_filedragdrop. You just drag and drop a pdf file into the text box, it works fine.

Thanks for this wonderful plugin! I have a suggestion for improvement and don't know where to do that other than here.
We've learned that users appreciate a confirmation mail to make sure that they've booked the slot.
It's a functionality that's often seen at booking or ordering stuff. So I'm curious if this feature can be included in the scheduler plugin.
Thanks!

Hey Henning. Thanks for the plugin ! In Moodle 4.4 php8 (staging server) I get the following error when trying to add time slots

Exception - Undefined constant "viewurl"

This is holding us for upgrading our production server to Moodle 4.4. Any chance for producing a 4.4 compatible version anytime ?

Thanks a lot for your efforts!

Hello Christophe,

I think this bug has been recently fixed on current master (https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/CONTRIB-9504). Hence zou might try the master branch to see whether this fixed the problem. Anyway, as far as I'm aware, this problem will only show up if no teacher is actually enrolled in the course where you are trying to add a slot.

Hi Henning, thanks you so much for your quick answer. You are right ! Adding a teacher solve the problem. Nice, now we can go 4.4.
Thanks !

Hi Henning,
Is it safe to pull the master branch of the plugin on Moodle 4.3. Do you plan to make a release compatible with Moodle 4.3 and 4.4 on moodle.org/plugins?

Hi, Henning.

So sorry to bother you here but, our vendor will not update our Scheduler plugin until it is posted in Moodle.org as approved for our version (we are now at Moodle 4.4). Do you have any ETA for that being updated?

Thank you so much,
Kevin

Hi, Does anyone on this thread know if Henning is still working on this plugin? I know it's the new year, but I've not gotten any response so I'm just curious. Thank you!

Je souhaite télécharger le plugin Scheduler mais quand je clique sur "download", je tombe sur une page moodle avec un captcha pour vérifier si je suis humain. Je coche la case mais ça ne fonctionne pas. cela m'indique :
"La vérification prend plus de temps que prévu. Vérifiez votre connexion Internet et actualisez la page si le problème persiste."
En vain...

Hi,
We appreciate and use your plugin a lot.
We tried it in Moodle 4.5 but it doesn't work. We have this error :
line 151 of /mod/scheduler/teacherview.php: Error thrown
line 88 of /mod/scheduler/view.php: call to include()

When will you propose the right version for Moodle 4.5 please ?
Thanks for your answer.
