Time management for MOOCs module

I’ve decided to create a timing/scheduling module—something that might be a plugin for a Google calendar, a newclasses-type environment, or a future-state online university.

I did some research into similar tools for business and found many—Projector, Wendia, Resource Guru, to name a few.

I’ve established the following design criteria:

On teacher side, I’m creating standardized intake fields for every task assigned, including time estimate and due date. Teachers can also have visibility into other class’ assignment scheduling, and the student’s calendar, in case they choose to publicize other life events like work or religious holidays or other critical engagements.

On the student side, features will include the ability to modify tasks, automate or customize calendar blocking, and customize to calendar view versus to-do list view.
