Linking online classes to the timetable
When teaching is online or hybrid, the timetable is the natural place to hold the meeting link — and the wrong place to hold it is an email sent in week one.
The link belongs on the session
Students already check their timetable to find out when and where a class is. For an online class, the where is a meeting URL, so that is where it should live — attached to the individual session rather than distributed separately.
Wise Timetable lets you attach links to online meeting platforms such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Google Meet to individual sessions. They appear in the published timetable and in the mobile apps, so joining is one tap from the schedule.
Why anywhere else fails
- Email in week one: buried by week three, and useless to anyone who joins the module late.
- A separate document: requires students to hold two sources open and to know which is current.
- The virtual learning environment only: works, but means checking two systems to attend one class.
- A recurring calendar invitation: breaks the moment the session moves, because the timetable and the invitation are maintained separately.
Keeping them current
Because the link is a property of the session, moving the session carries the link with it and changing the link updates everywhere the session appears — web, mobile apps and calendar feeds — simultaneously.
For hybrid teaching, the same session can carry both a room and a meeting link, which is what most institutions actually need.
