Electives
Students choose their elective subjects; the online enrolment form uses the same choice, so a student chooses once.
The platform
Built on Wise Timetable
Wise Ed runs on the school’s Wise Timetable database. The programmes, subjects, lessons, lecturers, exam dates and the students’ sign-in are already there, so the student office starts from what the timetable knows instead of typing it again — and what the lecturers taught is what students saw.
- One school, one database, nothing kept twice
- The timetable is read; only students are written into it
- Every Wise Ed school has Wise Timetable
What Wise Ed takes from the timetable
A student information system kept beside a timetable has to be told everything twice. Wise Ed reads it where it already is.
- Programmes, branches and subjects. They come over into the student records in one action, together with the curriculum the timetable knows and this year’s students with their enrolment. Pressing it again changes nothing that is already there.
- Lessons. The lecturers’ work is the month the live timetable says they taught, read the way the public timetable and the apps read it.
- Lecturers. The assessors of an exam record, the holder of a subject and the lecturers who see their own pages are the timetable’s lecturers, signed in the way they already sign in.
- Exam dates and rooms. The timetable’s exam module plans the periods, books the rooms and takes the registrations; exams and grades keeps the records and the grades.
- The student sign-in. The enrolment number and a code sent by e-mail open the student portal, attendance, electives and exam registration alike.
The timetable’s student modules
Five modules of Wise Timetable work with students directly. They have their pages on the Wise Timetable side of the site, and in a Wise Ed school they become part of each student’s record.
Clinical placements
Placements planned in the timetable, with the students who go to each and when.
Exam dates
Exam periods and dates with their rooms, from which Wise Ed opens each exam record.
Exam registration
Students register in the timetable, and registration asks Wise Ed’s rules, so a student the rules would stop is told why and until when.
Attendance
Attendance by QR code. Wise Ed reads it for absence alerts and, where the school sets it, for adjusted requirements.
All student modules
The timetable’s student modules together, as Wise Timetable describes them.
One switch, two doors
The timetable’s student modules are switched on and off in the same setting as Wise Ed’s own modules. Whoever administers the school switches them in Wise Ed’s module panel or in the timetable’s own settings, and both read the same row, so the two can never disagree. Switching one off hides it and deletes nothing. More in administration.
The timetable is read, and one door leads in
- Wise Ed writes only its own tables, beside the timetable’s, through an account that cannot write anything else. Programmes, lessons, rooms and lecturers are read, never changed.
- The one door into the timetable is the timetable sync. Wise Ed writes its students and their groups into the timetable’s student list — with a preview, every night, through the same writer other student systems use — so nobody types a student twice.
- Nothing is guessed. A student is matched on the enrolment number exactly, and a group somebody else assigned is never taken away.
- The full export carries both sides. The school’s full export holds Wise Ed’s tables, the timetable’s catalogues they point at, the timetable itself as dated lessons, and the student modules’ records.
Every Wise Ed school has Wise Timetable
Wise Ed is not sold on its own. It runs on a Wise Timetable database — one school, one database — and takes the lessons, exam dates and sign-in from it, which is where the lecturers’ work reports, the exam records and the student sync come from. A Wise Timetable school does not need Wise Ed; every Wise Ed school has Wise Timetable.
A school that is not on Wise Timetable yet gets both: we set the timetable up, import the timetable the school has today, and its timetable web pages are up within a few days. Then Wise Ed is switched on for the same database. See getting started.
Questions about Wise Ed and the timetable
Do we need Wise Timetable to use Wise Ed?
Yes. Wise Ed runs on the timetable’s database and takes the programmes, lecturers, lessons, exam dates and the students’ sign-in from it. A school without Wise Timetable gets the timetable set up first, in a few days.
Can Wise Ed change our timetable by mistake?
It cannot write the timetable’s lessons, rooms, programmes or lecturers at all. The only thing it writes is the student list and its group memberships, through the sync, with a preview.
Where do lecturers enter grades and check their month?
On their own pages of the web timetable they already use, signed in the way they sign in today. See for lecturers.
Do the timetable’s student modules need Wise Ed?
No. Electives, placements, exam dates, exam registration and attendance work in Wise Timetable on their own. With Wise Ed they also read its rules and become part of the student’s record.
