Scheduling University a Resounding Success!
The first offering of "Scheduling University" successfully concluded on
August 4 after a great two week run that saw more attendees than any
previous scheduling training! Scheduling Unit staff from the Office of
Classroom Management and the OTR PeopleSoft Student Records Team led a
well attended series of workshops designed for departmental schedulers
along with departmental and college administrators.
Seven workshops were each offered twice during the two week period.
Topics ranged from introductions to Scheduling (Scheduling 101) and
ECAS (ECAS basics) to a detailed explanation of how scheduling software
is integrated with the PS Student information system (Scheduling 202)
and a demonstration of how department users can benefit from using R25
(R25 Departmental Rollout). Additional sessions on Using Scheduling
Reports, ECS & Combined Sections, and Topic Titles from ECAS to ECS
were designed and offered based on questions frequently asked by
department schedulers.
Total attendance for all workshops was 380 - an all time high for annual scheduling seminars!
In addition, eight departmental users attended the first R25 Users
Group Meeting which was scheduled to coincide with Scheduling
University.
Well Done to the Scheduling Team and to the PeopleSoft Student Records
Team for a great inaugural "Scheduling U" event. Thank you to the many
attendees and contributors! It was a great success!
OCM's Scheduling Unit plans to offer the second annual session of Scheduling University in August, 2006.
