  • Name (1): Here you can name your planner.
  • Introduction (2): Here you can add a description.
  • Role name of the teacher (3): Here you can enter the name of the role that will supervise the students.
  • Mode (4): This mode offers different ways of making appointments:
a) Set n appointment(s) in this planner: Here students can only book a fixed number of appointments in this activity. Students cannot book more dates than are fixed.
Tip: Set unlimited in this mode of operation!
b) n set date(s) at once: Participants can book a fixed number of dates. Once the meeting is over and the teacher marks the student as "seen", students can book more dates.
  • Booking in groups (5): This function allows students to book a time slot for the whole group.
  • Blocked time (6): This function allows you to prevent students from cancelling their booking shortly before the deadline. For example, if the Blocked Time is set to two hours, students will not be able to book an appointment that starts in less than two hours. They will also not be able to delete an appointment if it starts in less than 2 hours.
  • Default duration time slot (7): Here you can set the duration of an appointment.
  • Notifications (8): If this option is checked you and the students will be notified when appointments are requested or cancelled.

  • Grading to pass (2): Here you enter the points that students must achieve to pass. A pass will be marked in green and a fail will be marked in red.
  • Assessment strategy (3): In a planner where students can have more than one meeting, you choose how the assessments are merged. The assessments can show either the average grade or the best grade that the students have achieved.
  • Use booking form (4): If this option is enabled, students will see a separate booking screen before they can book a meeting. This can require students to enter data, upload files, etc.
  • Booking Instructions (5): The text you enter here will be displayed to your students before booking. This text can, for example, instruct which files can be uploaded.
  • Let me enter a message (6)': This will add a message box to the student's booking screen in which you can enter a message. In the "Booking Instructions" you can refer to the information required to do this.
  • Number of uploadable files (7): This sets the maximum number of files that students can upload.
