Using Doodle to schedule one-to-one meetings

Doodle has two solutions for meetings with a specific individual: Doodle 1:1 and Booking Page. Both Doodle 1:1 and Booking Page have unique features that work well for educators and administrators.

Doodle 1:1 use cases for educators

Doodle 1:1 is a perfect solution for meeting with someone when you need to be in full control of what dates and times are being proposed. You pick the dates and times, your invitee selects which one works best for them, and that's it!

Doodle 1:1 is especially helpful for users looking to maintain complete control over their calendar. Use 1:1 for:

  • Student intervention meetings

  • Interviewing staff and faculty candidates

  • Any non-recurring meetings

Booking Page use cases for educators

Booking Page is an automated meeting scheduling solution. You connect your calendar to your Doodle account, set the rules by which your calendar will be scanned for availability, and people with access to your Booking Page link can book time with you.

Booking Page excels in hands-off scheduling for recurring meeting types, such as:

  • Office hours with students

  • Homework help

  • Parent/teacher conferences
