Overview

Classroombookings is a free, open-source and easy-to-use room booking system for schools built using the CodeIgniter application framework.

Status (May 09)

Most of the back-end work is almost complete, so I will soon be able to concentrate on the actual booking side of it. In the mean time, please feel free to check out the demo of the development progress.

Features

Eliminate double-bookings

If a room is already booked by somebody or is used for a timetabled lesson, no one else can book the room for that period. Only administrators, and room owners and booking creators can cancel bookings.

Unlimited rooms and users

Manage as many rooms and add as many users as you like.

Easy-to-use

The simplified user interface makes all relative information available at a glance and makes it easy to see which rooms are available to book, and when.

Custom timetable

Not everybody has a single week timetable with fixed one-hour lessons. This is why we allow administrators to create their own timetable, with their own weekly cycle and lesson times to match the school.

Cross-platform

No executables, DLLs, runtimes or plugins are required. As it's web-based, a modern web browser is all that's needed for users to book rooms.
