Many of us, including me, face the task of scheduling educational programs, such as B.A. Programs, Certificate Programs etc. in the university setting. Is there a software solution to easily see conflicts when entering an hour of a course and preferably create outouts for different grade groups, classrooms, and instructors?
Excel solutions would also be of benefit. Thanks in advance.
Hello Cinar,
I know that Rafael Martinelli and Anand Subramanian have recently worked on this topic and developed timetabling softwares for conferences and courses. I will forward your question to them, good luck !
Kind Regards

R is a statistic/data mining/data science programming language. It is free, and it has many free packages for scheduling, mathematical optimization, genetic algorithms and more. You could easily code your scheduling, optimize it and visualize it!
Plus, it has amazing visualization capabilities through ggplot2, plotly or Shiny. This could be a good option, but you need to be willing to write more code.
Optaplanner (https://www.optaplanner.org/) is an optimization framework coded in Java. It has as one of examples something like you're looking for. It is intended to be easy to configure and to work with, but I am not sure, because I've never done myself.
