Time management and course notifications in virtual universities with significant student numbers has always been a real problem, especially in terms of designing automation of course scheduling and reminders targeting learners, facilitators and tutors. This is the case of the Virtual University of Senegal which has nearly 30,000 students, more than 1000 teachers and tutors, more than 100 different course schedules created and manually updated on a daily basis, then integrated into Moodle training platforms for download, and no automatic tool for managing its timetables and notification to teachers, tutors and students. We present a solution to these problems consisting of using Google Suite to help manage scheduling and notification processes within the Moodle Learning Management System.
1:50pm - 2:00pm: Questions, answers and reflections on applying lessons learned
