Timetabling & Options

About - Timetable and Curriculum Organisation Suite

Nova –T4.

This module is the traditional SIMS timetabling tool, it is due to be removed from the Focus menu in SIMS in the Spring Upgrade. SIMS have stated that support for constructing the timetable in Nova-T4 has ceased. All timetables and set lists can now be printed from SIMS.

Nova-T6

This module is accessed from within SIMS .net or Nova-T4. This is the recommended timetabling tool for SIMS schools. With its innovative drag and drop interface, Nova-T6 helps you plan, analyse, cost and compare timetable solutions. There are many advantages over Nova-T4 that with planning reduces the need for manual checking of certain timetable restrictions. It offers a choice of manual or automatic scheduling, and has optimisation routines to measure and improve the quality of your timetable. It can easily be used by a Timetabler on a standalone machine.

Academic Management

Accessed from within SIMS.net, Academic Management helps schools to organise the student’s curriculum. There are routines for transferring class memberships from one academic year to another, randomly allocating students to classes and managing a carousel situation. All class changes are date stamped thus allowing tracking of set changes. The information is then used in other areas of the software especially Assessment Manager, Exams Organiser, Profiles and Lesson Monitor.

Options

This module is designed to help simplify the Options process within schools. It comes into its own when you run an open Options system, helping you to design the option blocks based on student choices. It can also be used to help produce class lists if you use a closed options system where you have defined the option blocks before students make their choices.
