At the moment the planner tool has to be customised for each course. We'd like to be able to set a default style for the planner to speed up its use across the site. In a school it's normal for all teachers to use the same headings and layout for planning, therefore we need to replicate this in the learning plkatform.
We'd like an admin user to be able to set the planner style (column headings and what is shown on the course iteself) and apply this across the site. Individual users could still alter the headings if needed, but the default would be the one defined by the admin.

Exactly what problem will this solve?:
Easy and quick publishing of plans directly from the learning environment instead of creating and publishing plans in a separate environment/tool.
For whom do we solve that problem?:
Teachers and administrators
How will we measure success?:
Improved user experience. An easy and quick one-environment solution will leave more time to learning and teaching activities. May be a sales argument too.
What alternatives are out there?:
Other commercial tools for time planning that include the publishing possibility but are not learning environments.
Why we are best suited to pursue this?
it's learning is an environment for learning and teaching. A natural environment for teaching plans. Such plans should exist in direct connection with the environment, where teaching and learning is going on.
Why now?:
Schools in Denmark (and other countries?) have to publish information about the teaching plans on the school homepage or on another public site. Right now many danish schools look for a tool for this because their present tool is closing down. That present tool is a dedicated planning and publishing tool not a learning environment. If it's learning could fulfill their needs for planning and publishing combined with the facilities of a learning environment it could be an argument for buying.
User story:
As a: Teacher
I want to: easily publish my teaching plans as required by the authorities
so that: I don't have to spend too much time on it and in a natural connection with my teaching activities.
As an: Administrator
I want to: to be sure that plans of the school's teachers are published
so that: my school fulfill requirements of the authorities. If teachers can easily publish this is more easily fullfilled.
Suggestions:
In the Planner Settings we suggest a column where you can mark what columns in the plan descriptions that should be included in the published plan.
Because not all plans are necessarily to be published, there should be a possibility to mark which plans you want to publish.
The published plans should be placed at an easily readable webaddress and contain the name of the subject.
Printing possibilities for the planner

The new planner is a rich tool to register our studyprogram. The only thing misses is the possibility to print this planner.
For every study (for example "5 VWO") the teachers makes a studypplanner, which tells the students what they can expect coming period (4 periods a year). The items we would like to register fits in the possible columns of theplanner.
Every time we print out this studyplanner in a booklet. I know that it should be great that printing out is not necessary anymore, but unfortunately for accepting working with the planning, we need a printout.
