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, please use the Scheduler forum on moodle.org.
For an earlier version supporting Moodle up to release 1.9, see the Scheduler 1.9 module.

we offer your Plugin Scheduler to allow our students to book their meetings with teachers during projects and assignments. So, we got some feedback from our teachers lately, that it would be great if they could give a short justification when forced to cancel an appointment during the process of cancellation and which would be sent with the notification. Maybe we missed it and it is already there – in this case we would be thankful for a hint. Otherwise it may be a feature for further development?
Thanks a lot!

It would be great if we can bind it with an existing activity. Say if I can bind it to a quiz. So that a student can book his slot for the quiz. When he attempts a quiz he should be asked to schedule it. If he booked a slot then he should be restricted to that slot only. Is it possible? If so can we expect to have such a feature any time soon?
Long time no see, how are you? My manager decides to continue with the Moodle LMS development, I am not sure whether the current scheduler does the following features:
1. When creating recurring slots, attach the students to all recurring slots. It seems that the current scheduler does not support it. When creating recurring slots, only the slot information is inputted, not the students.
2. There is no button to delete the created "recurring" slots. For example, on Apple iPhone's calendar, when creating recurring activities, upon delete one of the recurring activities, the calendar app asks whether the user would like to delete this one and its following activities that belong to the same recurring activities. Currently, it looks like the scheduler only has "Delete selected slots", "Delete my unused slots" and "Delete all my slots".
If the above features are not supported right now, is there a chance that you will find time to develop them?
Thank you!

1. I agree with you: we sometimes create recurring slots for a given teacher/student pair, it'd be a time saver to be able to assign a student on the "add repeated slots" page.
2. Alternately to your proposal (if it seems too complex to develop), I suggest a feature enabling to group edit slots; first by selecting a number of slots, then by showing a page similar to the "add single slot" page. Inputting a value in a field would result in inputting that value in the same field for all selected slots.
If you add this feature requests in the tracker I'll make sure to vote for them ;)

Thank you for your support. How do I add these wanted features to the tracker?
The bug tracker is here:

You'll have to register to post and follow issues.
First check the current feature requests to see if someone hasn't already made the same request, in which case you'll want to vote for it and follow it. If the request is not exactly what you have in mind, you may add your comment to the discussion.
This might prove to be a beneficial option for educators whom want to take greater control of the scheduler activity, and relieving them from the task of having to email or inform students verbally that they have booked them.
