Module Planning Tool (MPyT)
This is the documentation website for the Module Planning Tool developed by Falmouth’s Computing/Games Teams.
What does it do?
The tool is designed to help course teams ease the module planning process and timetable submission for their departments. It:
- Provides a week-by-week overview of a module’s activities as well as the staff and rooms attached
- Provides an easy-to-summarise backend to allow the generation of reports to aid in modelling
- Provide an export of course requirements, to aid the timetabling process
- Provide reports to aid in checking staff workload at the point of planning
What does it not do?
- It does not actually timetable – just handles requirements
- There are limitations for the reporting, namely
- Model assessment workload (yet!)
The name
The name is a pun on the original (spreadsheet-based) planning tool, MPT, which has been rewritten in a programming language called Python, therefore, MPyT.
