Display Zermelo timetables with Opensignage

With the Opensignage Zermelo integration, schools can easily display current lesson timetables and timetable changes on digital signage screens. Timetable information is automatically retrieved from Zermelo and displayed on screens throughout the school. This keeps students and staff informed of the latest timetable changes without the need to use their smartphones.

Always up-to-date timetable information

Zermelo is a widely used Dutch timetabling system for secondary schools. The integration with Opensignage allows timetable information from Zermelo to be displayed directly on digital signage screens.

Changes made in Zermelo are automatically reflected on the screens. This eliminates the need for staff to update timetables manually and ensures that students and staff have access to up-to-date timetable information.

How does the Zermelo integration work?

The Zermelo integration is easy to configure through the Opensignage online management portal.

1. Connect your Zermelo account. Go to the Zermelo app in the Opensignage management environment and add your school's Zermelo account.
2. Add the Zermelo widget. Open the relevant playlist and add the Zermelo widget to the main zone of your playlist.
3. Configure the display. Select the connected account and customise how the timetable information appears on screen.

Once configured, the widget automatically retrieves timetable information from Zermelo. The timetables are then displayed on the digital signage screens assigned to the playlist.

Consistent and professional school communications

Opensignage allows timetable information to be displayed using your school's own brand colours. This ensures that the timetables match your school's visual identity and gives your digital signage screens a consistent, recognisable appearance.

In addition to timetable information, the screens can display school news, announcements, upcoming events and other relevant information. This creates a central communication channel that keeps students and staff informed in a clear and accessible way.

A practical solution for smartphone-free schools

An increasing number of schools are introducing smartphone-free policies. This creates a need for alternative ways to keep students informed about important updates, including timetable changes.

Digital signage provides a practical solution. By displaying current Zermelo timetables on screens in communal areas, corridors or entrance halls, schools can ensure that essential timetable information remains accessible without students needing to use their smartphones.

Opensignage therefore supports clear and accessible communication within a smartphone-free school environment.

Digital signage for education

The Zermelo integration enables schools to combine up-to-date timetable information with other forms of student communication. It reduces the need for manual updates and provides a professional, consistent presentation of information across digital signage screens.
