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 Henning,
    Our teachers love the scheduler plugin a lot. They use this plugin to let students to book online tutorials. There's one issue if you could help to solve, it will be really great. When teachers add slots, the system will automatically save the location when the teacher inputs at the first time. Then this location will be the default location for that teacher. But the location will be changed frequently. If the teacher forget to change the default location, students will go to the wrong room. The teachers prefer to have the location field be blank. Can you help with this? Many thanks.
    Best wishes,
    Lina

    Hi Henning, longtime no exchanged... wink how are you going ? i am asked by a customer to complete the scheduler with moodle WS, covering the essential crude questions about scheduler instances, slotsand appointement. Would you be ok for integrating the resulting externallib.php and db/services.php files in the scheduler distribution ?

    Cheers !

    Hi Henning,
    A little suggestion for next version maybe. It would be nice to be allowed to set preferred export format in site config. Many users export data to use them inside excel but don't change the default export format. When files contain accents, they get weird characters in Excel.
    Regards

    Hi Henning,

    I have a little problem.
    When I put a file link in Booking form and student-supplied data, like instructions and other info, but students see this URL, http://site.com/mod/scheduler/@@PLUGINFILE@@/blablabla.pdf and it is no a vali link -> NOT FOUND.
    Any idea? Just happen there....

    Thank you

    @Valery, long time no see! The WS API was something on my long-term to-do list. I am always happy to consider contributions, although I can't promise to integrate them (it really depends what the code looks like, whether it's of wider interest, etc.). If you like, open an issue in the tracker and link a github branch, once your work is finished.

    @David, thanks for mentioning this - there is indeed a bug, I'm tracking this as CONTRIB-7222 (see there foe updates).

    Hi Henning, nice tool. Can I prevent teachers seeing students' email addresses? Thanks.

    Why when I'm connected as a student I have a message saying that guests can't view this activity. Normally, in this situation I can view, and do, any activity in the course but schedule not.

    @Albert, no, i don't think so, not at the moment. What setting are you using in other contexts (e.g. participant lists) to hide the e-mail address from teachers?

    @Nadine, this will have to do with your permission settings. Probably you have customized the student role. See here for the required permissions: https://docs.moodle.org/34/en/Scheduler_Module_capabilities#Student_side

    Hi Henning,
    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!
