Example Data Table

Course Instructor Enrollment Meetings / Week Duration Estimated Sections
Introduction to Economics Dr. Khan 120 2 90 min 4
Data Analytics Fundamentals Prof. Ahmed 84 2 75 min 3
Academic Writing Workshop Dr. Fatima 48 1 60 min 2
Digital Sociology Prof. Ali 96 2 80 min 3

Formula Used

Estimated sections per course = Ceiling(Enrollment ÷ Target class size)

Adjusted live duration = Base session duration × Live teaching share

Weekly sessions = Estimated sections × Meetings per week

Weekly live hours = Sum of all scheduled live minutes ÷ 60

Term contact hours = Weekly live hours × Term weeks

Utilization = Scheduled minutes ÷ Available platform minutes × 100

Load balance score uses daily hour variation. Lower spread produces a higher score.

How to Use This Calculator

Enter the term length, class size target, daily time window, break minutes, and the number of parallel rooms available for live teaching.

Select the teaching days, then add your courses in the provided line format. Each line should include the course title, instructor, enrollment, weekly meetings, and duration.

Click the generate button. The calculator estimates sections, builds a weekly online timetable, measures utilization, and highlights sessions that could not fit.

Review the course summary, generated schedule, warning notes, and load graph. Then export the schedule to CSV or PDF for sharing.

FAQs

1. What does this scheduler calculate?

It estimates sections, weekly live hours, term contact hours, platform utilization, daily balance, and an automatic weekly online teaching timetable.

2. How are sections estimated?

The calculator divides enrollment by your target class size and rounds up. That keeps section counts realistic when courses exceed the preferred live cohort size.

3. Why is there a live teaching share field?

Many online courses mix live and asynchronous learning. This percentage reduces base session duration so the timetable reflects only the live teaching portion.

4. What does maximum sessions per day control?

It caps how many sessions can be placed on one day. This helps prevent overloaded schedules, even when room capacity and time windows still allow more sessions.

5. Why might some sessions remain unscheduled?

Unscheduled items usually appear when the selected days, daily teaching window, room count, or daily session cap cannot absorb all required live sessions.

6. What does utilization mean here?

Utilization compares scheduled live minutes with the total minutes available across the selected days and virtual rooms. Higher values indicate tighter planning pressure.

7. How should I interpret the balance score?

A higher score means the weekly load is distributed more evenly across the chosen days. Lower scores suggest concentrated teaching blocks or scheduling bottlenecks.

8. Can I export the generated schedule?

Yes. After generating results, use the CSV button for spreadsheet sharing or the PDF button for printable summaries and timetable distribution.
