Cevans Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Can anyone recommend a good Room Booking Software for a school with 6 IT rooms please?
richmackie Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 If you're after something free and basic but functional and easy to use, have a look at Teamup (http://www.teamup.com). It's free for up to 8 calendars. I've set it up for one of my schools and they love it. Doesn't integrate with SIMS or anything clever like that but teachers find it easy to use. 1
webman Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Hi! Slightly biased, but I'm the author of classroombookings I don't have SIMS or AD integrations at the moment, but it's open source and freely available. It supports as many rooms/users as you want, as well as multi-week timetables if that's your thing. The other popular choices people on here will recommend are RoomBookingSystem which does have more integrations, and MRBS which is another open source project. 2
richmackie Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Your system does look very impressive. We did used to have something written in-house but it's gone now and I've been asked if I can bring it back. SIMS integration is a deal-breaker for me but if your system ever offers that I'll be interested. 1

It's something I'm keen to add at some point as I appreciate it makes things a lot easier! There is only so much a team of one person with limited time can do

We'll be moving to EduLink soon as part of a large-scale refresh, but it's served us well for over 5 years and if we weren't swapping I'd be happy to continue it. 2
richmackie Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Edulink One looks pretty awesome. Can't believe I'd never heard of that before.
saggu Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Edulink One looks pretty awesome. Can't believe I'd never heard of that before. Hi is Edulink free?
richmackie Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Hi is Edulink free?It is not. If the website is to be believed though, it looks like it does a lot for the money. 1
Moohorse Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 I wrote one for in-house a couple of years ago that links to SIMS, and displays what the current lesson or booking is on an iPad outside each of the computer rooms. 2
Moohorse Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 The iPads were iPad mini 1s from 2013 that were slightly damaged in some way (like a headphone socket or rocker switch) or that we couldn't remove from DEP. We just put them to work as displays instead of disposing of them.
Ditto Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 Even better! Recycling, or should I say 'upcycling' nowadays.
limawhiskey Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 That's really impressive @Moohorse. Do you plan to publish the code / app?
eduman99 Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 We use MRBS, it does the job and we use NTFS security on IIS to stop students booking - https://mrbs.sourceforge.io/
