Free timetabling software for automatically scheduling the timetable of a school, high-school or university

Overview of All Applications !

FET is open source free software for automatically scheduling the timetable of a school, high-school or university. It uses a fast and efficient timetabling algorithm. It is licensed under GNU/GPL.

FET version 5 is released. You are encouraged to use it, because of the new much better algorithm. The new 5 series version seems to be very performant. It might be comparable to expensive timetabling software. The solution is usually obtained in maximum 5-20 minutes.

FEATURES

• FET is free software (open source). You can freely use, copy, modify and re-distribute it, as GNU/GPL permits (but please consider a donation)

• Localized to en_GB (English), ar (Arabic), ca (Catalan), de (German), el (Greek), es (Spanish), fr (French), hu (Hungarian), id (Indonesian), it (Italian), lt (Lithuanian), mk (Macedonian), ms (Malay), nl (Dutch), pl (Polish), ro (Romanian) and tr (Turkish) (maybe incompletely)

• Fully automatic generation algorithm, allowing also semi-automatic or manual allocation

• Platform independent implementation, allowing running on GNU/Linux, Windows, Mac and any system that Qt supports

• Powerful flexible modular xml format for the input file, allowing editing with an xml editor or by hand (besides FET)

• Possibility to view the currently generated timetable without stopping the ongoing simulation (as html on hard disk)

• The resulted timetables are exported into xml and html formats

• Very flexible students (pupils) structure, organized into sets: years, groups and subgroups. FET allows overlapping years and groups and non-overlapping subgroups. You can even define individual students (as separate sets)

• Each constraint has a weight percentage, from 0.0% to 100.0% (some special constraints can have only 100% weight percentage possible)

• Maximum total number of hours (periods) per day: 60 (can be increased, but until now nobody suggested a larger value)

• Maximum number of working days per week: 28 (can be increased, but until now nobody suggested a larger value)

• Maximum total number of teachers: 700 (can be increased, but until now nobody suggested a larger value)

• Maximum total number of sets of students: 15000 (can be increased, but until now nobody suggested a larger value)

• Maximum total number of subjects: 1000 (can be increased, but until now nobody suggested a larger value)

• Virtually unlimited number of subject tags

• Maximum number of activities: 5000 (can be increased, but until now nobody suggested a larger value)

• Maximum number of rooms: 1000 (can be increased, but until now nobody suggested a larger value)

• Maximum number of buildings: 100 (can be increased, but until now nobody suggested a larger value)

• Adjustable duration for each activity (each activity can have duration of 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours or more)

• Possibility of adding multiple teachers and students sets for each activity. That is, each activity can have specified any number of students subgroups (sets) and any number of teachers (it is possible to have no teacher or no students set for an activity, also)

• Maximum number of time constraints: 10000 (can be increased, but until now nobody suggested a larger value)

• Maximum number of space constraints: 10000 (can be increased, but until now nobody suggested a larger value)

• A large and flexible palette of time constraints:

Free OnCourse: a courses and training management freeware software

Home !
Overview of All Applications !

Track your students, courses and enrolments with onCourse software, the comprehensive system from ish. onCourse - The comprehensive enrolment and marketing system.

With minimal training your staff will be able to easily manage the most important information from across your organisation: web site pages, students, enrolments, invoices, tutors and much more.

With our focus on ease of use, almost no training is needed to get your staff up and running with the new system. We have written onCourse to work the way you do, not forcing you into remembering arcane key strokes or data entry processes. But everything you need is there: a full general ledger system, right through to systems to make it easy to market your courses on the web, by email, SMS or however.

Because onCourse automatically updates your web site as you make changes to course information, or fill places in your courses, your web site is always accurate and up to date.

With Australian AVETMISS functionality built-in, onCourse makes it easy to export correct data every time.

You have nothing to lose. onCourse is free to use. There are no restrictions on the number of enrolments, students, simultaneous users or anything else. There are no timebombs or limits.

onCourse has been written for colleges with as few as several hundred enrolments per year. It scales easily to accommodate large colleges with thousands of enrolments per week. It is written with a focus on the Australian environment, however it will work in any country and with most sales tax systems.

Because of onCourse’s core marketing qualities, it is more suited to colleges and schools providing short courses (that is, one year or less) and trying to sell those courses to the general public. It has features specific to running an RTO but it equally useful to colleges without accreditation.
