GHC - What is it?

The GHC Timetabling Software for Educational Institutions is an aid for an optimal solution for the management of timetables

Developing the best-fitting schedules is often more difficult than it may seem. It is not just about placing all the teaching sessions. A schedule must take pedagogical criteria into account, optimize the use of the classrooms, observe needs and limitations, and, if possible, all personal preferences from the different stakeholders.

Parts

The GHC program is structured into three clearly differentiated components

Planificador

Planner

You can import data from other applications and organise complex timetables very efficiently in a visual and assisted way. You can set strict and flexible conditions to find the best solution according to your own criteria. If solutions exist, they are found in sufficiently short periods of time. If there are impossible conditions to satisfy, the validation and analysis processes will help you to refine them.

Motor

Engine

Once the engine finds complete results, GHC Optimum will automatically search for an optimal compromise, the most equitable and favourable according to the weighting criteria you have set. This will allow you to get the most compact timetables for the teachers and get the result to observe as much as possible everything you need.

Editor

Editor

The GHC editor is a powerful tool that allows you to present and modify timetables. You will be able to add meetings, on-call hours or other teacher activities in an assisted way. You can also adjust, modify or move class units by dragging and dropping. Finally, transfer your timetables using various open formats to other applications.


The planner configures the elements and conditions:

  • You can set different timetables:
    • Overlapping in the same week.
    • For different terms/semesters, etc.
  • Allows you to load or create lists of overriding elements:
    • Teaching subjects.
    • Student groups.
    • Teachers.
    • Classrooms.
    • Courses and your academic plan.
  • You can set up the following elements:
    • Teaching sessions.
    • On-call periods.
    • Meetings.
    • Other teacher activities.
  • Define strict and preferential conditions:
    • Teacher availability.
    • Preferences for the use of classrooms.
    • Options and relationships between teaching sessions (electives, etc).
    • Optimization criteria.
Planificador GHC

Motor GHC

The engine is the core of GHC. You can find the optimal timetable that follows all needs and preferences entered in the planner.

  • It is more useful the more complicated it is to find a valid and optimal solution for your school.
  • It offers an extraordinary ability to find solutions surprisingly quickly.
  • You can avoid overlaps of student groups, teachers and classrooms.
  • The GHC Optimum engine searches for the most balanced and optimal solution according to your preferences and criteria.
  • Thanks to the analyser, you will be able to debug the impossible conditions in your timetable in order to find a solution.

From the editor you can modify, present and transfer your results.

  • View the timetables created by the engine.
  • Present the timetable of students, teachers, classrooms, departments, on-call hours, meetings, etc. in different formats.
  • Modify assignments, move class units or add new elements. The editor will warn you of possible conflicts when making any modifications.
  • Transfer your timetable to other academic management applications, both public and private.
  • It offers a variety of open presentation formats: HTML, PDF, CSV, etc.
  • Create reports on teachers assignments, compliance with preferences, educational teams, tutors, sign-in sheets, etc.
