The ofCourse History

“ofCourse manages the most complicated aspects of scheduling (including avoiding room, time, subject area, and faculty conflicts) in a fraction of the time that it took for us to do it manually. The software is intuitive, and the schedules are consistently better for students and faculty than our old schedules. When we have had questions, Troy is quick to respond to our inquiries. When we need to make a change, it is reflected on the published schedule in real time. After using the software for two years, I cannot imagine going back to manual scheduling.”

“I have been using ofCourse for two years and I cannot think of making a schedule without it. The system is incredibly user friendly—it really does create a basic schedule with the click of a button. But the system is flexible as well, giving the user the ability to customize and improve on that basic schedule. Not only is it easier for me, students and faculty love the schedules I’ve been able to create. Students report far fewer conflicts and faculty get their day and time preferences most of the time.”

“I had never put together a course schedule by myself before and was nervous about the entire process. ofCourse made everything so easy because they have thought of everything! Not only did they walk us through all the steps of collecting information, inputting our courses and faculty preferences and crafting our fall and spring schedules, but they were there as a resource for me when I had general and specific questions about course scheduling. They are experts — so grateful to ofCourse!”

“Before ofCourse I used poster board and sticky notes to map out the schedule. That could easily turn into a nightmare if one fell off. And getting it from the poster board to online was time consuming. With ofCourse, I actually look forward to making the schedule! Troy was so patient during the training process. He’ll walk you through each step and is always there to review the steps if needed. The process is smooth. Once done it can be easily exported. The ofCourse team is always looking for ways to improve the product and annually solicit suggestions. I can’t say enough good about it!”

“We switched to ofCourse a year ago, and we are glad that we did. The software makes it very easy to enter courses and create schedules, and it can handle many complex edge cases, such as courses that meet at different days at different times. Our students greatly preferred the look of the new schedules to our old solution. The best thing about the software is that Troy DeArmitt provides outstanding customer support and can help with a number of scheduling challenges. He is constantly looking for ways to ensure that we do not have to endure manual tasks.”

“I have used ofCourse for 3 years. I love this product! It is powerful, has lots of tools with many good uses, and is very easy to use. The conflict checker, schedule reports, and public views that allow you to look at the data in many ways, allow me to use the product all year long. The customer support (Troy DeArmitt) is exceptional. Troy gives you as much time as you need to get the best performance from the software. I highly recommend ofCourse!”
