Imagine an app that lets us plan class sessions for a subject or module1 throughout an entire school year2.
Imagine that this app, simply by entering our weekly schedule and holiday dates, generates all the sessions we need to plan.
Imagine that it allows us to write a description for each session, as well as comments or ideas for future improvements to consider in upcoming courses.
Imagine that we can access, from any device and at a glance, the sessions and descriptions we have to teach on a specific day.
Imagine that it allows us to make modifications on the fly, such as a change in order, adjusting pending sessions to this modification.
Imagine that we can easily link each session to specific content and evaluation criteria3.
Imagine that it is capable of exporting the sessions in an easily editable format, to be able to import them into a new school year.
These are just my imaginings4. If anyone knows of software, preferably open source and with the possibility of installation on one’s own server (self-hosted)5, that is more or less already prepared for these use cases, I kindly ask you to contact me. I have already tried several such as Additio, iDoceo or Chalk Planboard6. Most fail especially when it comes to exporting, as they only allow doing so in formats like PDF. Which looks very nice, but is very impractical for transforming, improving and reusing these sessions in subsequent courses.
Let’s continue imagining.
