When to use it
- Scheduling a new live course or cohort from scratch
- Finding the best time for a cohort spread across time zones
- Managing enrollment caps and overflow waitlists
- Handling session reschedules when instructor or students need to change
- Sending reminders and follow-ups to enrolled students
- Planning the recurring session calendar for an entire cohort
Mistakes to avoid
- Scheduling without time zone data: Always survey the cohort first; don't assume everyone is in your time zone.
- No buffer between sessions: Pack the day with back-to-back sessions with no break — instructor burnout follows.
- Ignoring capacity management: Don't let enrollment exceed platform limits; manage expectations early.
- No waitlist policy defined: Students will ask "what if the class is full?" Have an answer ready.
- Forgetting to send platform links: Send 24 hours before AND 1 hour before — IT fails happen.
- Scheduling on holidays: Check institutional and cultural calendars before publishing schedule.
