LCR Calendars and Scheduling

2011/05/05 1 comment

Obsolete since FALL 2011, instead see here.

LRC scheduling Crunch-time:

Faculty need to schedule exams in the LRC, communicate this to students in a timely manner and avoid conflicts with other LRC events.

While the LRC staff lost editing access to the LRC Website, including its calendar (they underlying software is being upgraded from Joomla to Drupal).

That’s why we roll out our new LRC scheduling service early.

It takes advantage of  Outlook Desktop edition (2007 for the PC, 2011 for the MAC) and Outlook Web Access for MS-Exchange 2010 (for faculty/staff), and of  the calendar web app of live@edu (for students).

live@edu  and Outlook 2011 (MAC) are being introduced by the university over the summer.

Outlook 2007 (PC) faculty and any student who uses a web calendar are already ready to roll.

Faculty/Staff, including LRC permanent staff, can view, add and change LRC bookings directly, and coordinate them with their personal and Moodle class calendars: Read more in “Calendaring: How teachers can reserve and schedule classes in the LRC” (includes path in your Outlook to get to the LRC calendars).

Students, including LRC student staff, can view the LRC bookings from their web calendar. Read more in “Calendaring: How students can view the LRC schedules” (includes web links to LRC calendars)

Here is what you get:
