meetings and appointments
Enable staff and students to book meetings/appointments
Offer instant access to staff calendars
Enable staff to manage their own diaries
Eliminate the possibility of double bookings
As a university/college with so many members of staff and key personnel, trying to manage time is a challenging task. With students continually demanding meeting times, combined with colleagues wanting to meet with one another on a regular basis, how can you help to make scheduling easier in your institution?
connect2 promotes efficient time management using a central booking screen with instant access to staff calendars. Students are able to log in and book their own meeting sessions and appointments with key personnel such as tutors or career advisors. In addition, staff are able to make bookings to meet with fellow colleagues.
Staff are able to manage their own diaries, highlighting and blocking out times when they may be unavailable for meetings. Not only does this prevent meetings from having to be re-arranged, but it also means that double bookings will never occur again!
