How can I seat students based on their preferences?
This feature is available to any users on a paid (Silver, Gold or Platinum) plan
Mega Seating Plan is now smart enough to be able to ask your students where they want to sit, consider all of their preferences (as well as your teacher preferences) and create a seating plan.
Open any seating plan for the class you want to manage. On the left toolbar, click the 'Student preferences' button.
You will see a list of all the students in your class. At the moment, their preferences will probably all be blank. Click the button at the top of the page to generate a PDF document containing QR codes for all the students.
Print the QR codes, cut them up and distribute them to your class. Ask your students to take them home and scan the QR codes. They will be invited to choose where they would prefer to sit, and to say which students they do and do not work well with.
When students respond, your class preferences page will be populated with their preferences. You can choose your own teacher preferences, which will always override the preferences of the students.
To generate a seating plan based on these preferences, click the 'Rearrange' button on the seating plan, then choose the 'Smart sorting' tab. Make sure 'Student preferences' is selected, choose any other criteria you want, then click 'Regenerate seating plan'.
Mega Seating Plan's AI will then churn through all the data, generating thousands of possible plans until delivering the best one to you a few seconds later.
