Aurora

Every year, students and teachers worldwide need to get accustomed with a new school timetable that may or may not be to their liking. To make sure that as many persons as possible are satisfied with their new timetable, those responsible with creating it can turn to Aurora.

To come to the aid of those who use such an app for the first time, Aurora includes a sample timetable that is meant to help you explore all the features and understand how to apply them to your needs.

While this is a commendable idea, unfortunately this sample timetable is riddled with Hungarian words, which makes the whole experience somewhat disappointing. In other words, you might be better off building a new timetable from scratch and discover the functions as you go, especially if you choose to use the built-in wizard.

Aurora allows you to add teachers, subjects and numbers of classes depending on your needs, as well as number of studies per day and the periods.

As soon as you enter the names of the teachers and the subjects, they automatically receive an acronym which is meant to help the timetable be easier to read and comprehend. You can later modify this acronym as you see fit.

You can further adapt Aurora to your exact needs by entering extra parameters for each teacher, so as to ensure you do not accidentally forget some of the requirements.

You can import additional data from standalone files on your computer with only a few mouse clicks.

To wrap it up, Aurora has the potential to become your go-to utility for creating timetables, but you need to take the time to examine and discover its features, since its sample project is not very useful.
