Lecturers release slots, students book them themselves — and both see their bookings in one place.

Why#

No email ping-pong over an appointment: free slots are listed, one click books.

How it works#

  1. 1Lecturers: in the lecturer area open “Office hours”, enter date and time, duration in minutes and location (default “Online (video call)”) and “Release slot”.
  2. 2Released slots are listed below as “open” or with the name and note of the person who booked; a slot can be deleted (Fig. 1).
