Seminary and Institute schedules
Has anyone heard whether future versions of Lesson Schedules will include capabilities for Seminary and/or Institute schedules (which aren't just on Sunday)? This would be very useful, but I couldn't find a feedback link...

Re: Seminary and Institute schedules
You can always use the main Feedback link on LDS.org for any feedback, even for a page (such as Lesson Schedules) that doesn't have a feedback link.sbradshaw wrote:This would be very useful, but I couldn't find a feedback link...

Currently it only supports wards. It would have to be changed to support other units.sbradshaw wrote:Has anyone heard whether future versions of Lesson Schedules will include capabilities for Seminary and/or Institute schedules (which aren't just on Sunday)?

Re: Seminary and Institute schedules
It might need some changes to support other units. Right now, Lesson Schedules has a philosophy of a calendar year, not an academic year. Not all academic institutions have a term break with the year change and Lesson Schedules doesn't support a class going across the calendar year boundary (and there are several Sunday School classes that aren't constrained to the calendar year boundary). You have to re-create a class in the new calendar year.russellhltn wrote:Currently it only supports wards.

I would think that CES would need to sponsor this, so you might want to talk to CES people (I don't know if you're a student or teacher). I don't know if there's currently any kind of institute student portal. If not, they probably need to develop that concept, too.

Re: Seminary and Institute schedules
Seems to me that it would have to end up being in a CES unit, not a "ward" one. But it would be nice if it was assessable to the member in the same tool and not force them to log into a different website.mevans wrote:I would think that CES would need to sponsor this, so you might want to talk to CES people (I don't know if you're a student or teacher).

But that's a big infrastructure change.

Re: Seminary and Institute schedules
From what I understand, Seminary is usually organized on the stake level... I don't know much about CES units. It may be different in the "Book of Mormon Belt" (Idaho, Utah, Arizona) where you can take Seminary as a high school class (I don't know too much about how that works either).

Re: Seminary and Institute schedules
Although the stake may organize it, I believe CES is the program sponsor (I don't know church lingo, so this is my own). I would think they would have to be the ones requesting Lesson Schedules for their classes, regardless of who's teaching them.

Re: Seminary and Institute schedules
From another thread, it was pointed out that Seminary boundaries doesn't correspond to stake boundaries. So I think the logical way to do this would be to make the person a member of a CES/Seminary unit. Given that LS doesn't even support stakes at this point, I think that's a ways off.sbradshaw wrote:From what I understand, Seminary is usually organized on the stake level...
