QR code timetables now available in every GTA location
The Central Timetabling Office and the GTA Working Party have collaborated on a special project this summer to allow staff and students better access to timetabling information for every GTA room on campus. Although live timetables are always available on the CTO’s website, they are not easy to access from a smartphone when a student or staff member wants to check that they have arrived at the right place for their lecture or seminar. They are also not generally known about by visitors to the University. A number of options to improve access to this information were considered, including digital signage, but all had significant drawbacks in terms of cost or the level of maintenance needed.
The answer was found from an unexpected source when Jane McGrath and Rachel Harvey of the CTO read an account online of another organisation that had hit upon the simple solution of displaying QR codes outside each room. Jane then did some research to see if the CTO could utilise this approach in a way which was compatible with the Scientia SWS software which generates the University’s online timetables. Although she only dabbles in writing code, Jane found some online tutorials on Java Script and wrote a page of code which will take room information from a QR code and then calculates the week, day and hour of the request. The requesting device is then quickly redirected to the relevant room’s timetable for the current hour and the following two hours.
QR codes have now been generated for all 97 GTA locations on campus. They are displayed in frames on the door of each room. The QR codes can be accessed at any hour of the day without having to bookmark a page on your smartphone or find a computer terminal with access to the Web. The CTO hopes that the students, staff and visitors to the University will find this new service both helpful and convenient.
If you need help reading the web timetables, there is a guide to reading a grid timetable available as pdf.
If you notice any missing or defaced QR code timetables please email timetabling@bath.ac.uk so they can be replaced.
