At TimeEdit, we’ve always believed that academic operations work best when they’re connected. Curriculum, workload, scheduling, registration, evaluation, all drawing from the same data foundation. That’s why we’ve built our platform to unify these processes, so institutions don’t have to piece them together manually. Now, we’re taking that principle one step further.

‍

👉 What is MortarCAPS and MCDS?‍

The MortarCAPS Higher Learning Data Standard (MCDS) is the first Commonwealth-wide open standard for higher education data, developed by and for the sector. Its purpose is simple but powerful: to give institutions and vendors a common language for student and institutional data. With MCDS, universities can reduce duplication, simplify integrations, and gain a consistent foundation for everything from enrolment and funding models to student wellbeing and digital credentials.

‍

👉 What does this mean for institutions?

By aligning our platform with MCDS, we’ll help institutions:

• Ensure their planning and scheduling data is part of a wider ecosystem, not stuck in silos
• Reduce duplication and improve interoperability with other systems and partners
• Connect local needs with global best practices, supporting innovation that benefits the entire sector

For us, this isn’t just about compliance, it’s about collaboration. MCDS represents the same values we care about: openness, transparency, and building with the sector, for the sector.

‍

💚 To the MortarCAPS team and all the institutions shaping this standard: we’re excited to be working alongside you.

Supporting flexibility across campuses, programs and people

Griffith’s academic landscape is wide-ranging, from large cohort lectures to specialist health clinics and performance-based activities at the Queensland Conservatorium. This diversity brings both opportunity and operational complexity.

To better support staff and students across its distributed campuses, Griffith launched a comprehensive selection process to identify a vendor that could meet the University’s evolving needs. TimeEdit was selected for its strength in managing intricate scheduling patterns, support for enabling collaborative planning across faculties and provision of tools that feel intuitive for everyday users.

‍

Why did Griffith select to partner with TimeEdit?

Griffith’s priorities centred on replacing outdated systems with a unified, configurable platform that improves planning, transparency and user experience at every level. With TimeEdit, the University will:

• provide an intuitive and user-friendly interface for all users
• support distributed planning across campuses and academic calendars
• enable faster, better-informed decisions with real-time data access
• reduce reliance on manual processes through smart automation
• improve student experience by offering flexible pathways that support their individual goals and aspirations.
  
  

This move is closely aligned with Griffith’s “Creating a brighter future for all” strategic plan, which calls for systems that can adapt and scale with the University while making daily life easier for its students, academic and professional communities.

‍

Part of a growing community

With this partnership, Griffith becomes the 14th university in the ANZ region to choose TimeEdit, joining a growing network that includes the University of Melbourne, Deakin University, La Trobe, Australian Catholic University, UNE and others.

“Griffith’s commitment to a student-first approach and their wider strategic objectives are a true source of inspiration. We are honoured to partner,”

TimeEdit CEO Johan Blomdahl

To everyone at Griffith University - warmest welcome! We’re excited to be working together to shape the future of academic planning 💚

After years of juggling multiple legacy systems and with a clear goal to cut vendor clutter and costs, UC has chosen to simplify academic planning and scheduling with one unified platform. It’s a big step forward, and we’re honoured to be right there with them, helping make academic operations more connected.

‍‍

Why UC chose TimeEdit

At the heart of UC’s decision is TimeEdit’s mature scheduling core, built to handle the real-world complexities of space, teaching delivery, and resource planning. By adding integrated modules for exams, allocation, and reporting, UC can now replace scattered processes with one system that connects it all.

As Martin Drinkwater from UC shared:

“The biggest business benefit is with scheduling - TimeEdit understands that ecosystem and builds from there.”

Martin and the team are especially to realise valuable gains:

• Cutting complexity by consolidating multiple systems and vendors
• Gaining visibility of teaching activities to make better workforce and space decisions
• Bringing exam scheduling into the same flow as class timetabling for stronger continuity
• Using flexible tools like auto-scheduling and constraint management to save time and effort

‍‍

Timetabling and Class Registration works better together

For UC, a big step forward is bringing timetabling and allocation into the same workflow. No more disconnected processes, schedules are built and students are allocated with one shared data model.

That means students get a fairer shot at classes that actually fit their lives and preferences, while staff gain tools that balance those choices with teaching capacity and room availability. The outcome? More satisfied students and smarter use of every teaching resource.

‍

Momentum and enthusiasm on the ground

The University of Canberra project team has been quick to recognise the great effort from the project team, praising how we’ve accelerated delivery while remaining easy and enjoyable to work with. We are happy for those kinds words and it’s already shaping up to be a strong partnership.

As Luke Maidens, project Manager at University of Canberra shared after the first weeks of the project:

“I’ve been genuinely impressed by how smooth the collaboration has been. Seeing key end users light up with excitement over the new functionality and ways of working really speaks to the strength of your team.”

A warm welcome onboard University of Canberra 💚

We’re proud to welcome Avondale University to the TimeEdit community! With a legacy grounded in values-based education and a clear commitment to academic quality, Avondale is now taking the next leap forward - enhancing how its curriculum is planned, scheduled, and delivered.

‍

A big vision from a purpose-driven University

Avondale has selected TimeEdit’s full Academic Operations Suite, spanning curriculum design, workload planning, and scheduling - all to support a connected, data-driven approach to academic operations. The decision marks a key milestone for the region, as Avondale becomes the first university in Australia to implement the entire suite.  

“TimeEdit stood out to us because of the strength of its all-in-one platform. Having curriculum, scheduling, and workload data flow through a single architecture will enable smarter decision-making and reduce duplication across systems”. says Nigel Quinn, CISO and Digital Renewal Projects at Avondale University.

‍

Leading with scheduling

Located in New South Wales and offering a wide array of undergraduate and postgraduate programs across education, business, humanities, science, and theology, Avondale serves a diverse student community with a personalised approach to learning. That diversity demands flexible, efficient scheduling and that’s where the journey with TimeEdit begins. By kicking off implementation with scheduling, Avondale will unlock early wins in operational efficiency, staff coordination, student experience and giving teams a single source of truth to work from.

‍

💚 To everyone at Avondale: welcome aboard. We're excited to partner with you and showcase what integrated academic operations can look like.
