Display of Different Substitution Situations
There have been some changes in the new timetable view regarding the display of various substitution situations. This section explains the changes from a teacher’s perspective.
The best way to illustrate the new features is with an example. For this, we’ll use a physics lesson in class 1a, which is usually taught by Teacher Mayer.
Initial Situation:
Now, Teacher Mayer is ill and will be substituted by Teacher Huber. The subject, Physics, remains unchanged.
The display in the affected timetables will then look as follows:
A new feature here is that the teacher being substituted (Mayer) is now always shown alongside the substitute teacher. To make it clear that Mayer is not teaching the lesson herself, her name is outlined with a dashed line.
If the subject also changes during the substitution, the display is different as well.
In the following example, Teacher Müller substitutes Mayer’s physics lesson, but with the subject Geography instead (Müller is the Geography teacher for class 1a).
Since Mayer’s physics lesson is not substituted one-to-one, but instead an additional Geography lesson takes place, the physics lesson is shown as cancelled and the additional Geography lesson is displayed as a changed lesson next to it.
In the final scenario, Teacher Weber substitutes Mayer’s physics lesson, again with the subject Geography (however, Weber is not the regular Geography teacher for class 1a — that is Müller).
To ensure that the regular Geography teacher for class 1a (Müller) is informed that an additional lesson of his subject is taking place, the lesson also appears in Müller’s timetable, even though he is not directly involved in this substitution. For this reason, the lesson is again outlined with a dashed line.
