Calendar - About


About Calendar Top

Calendar allows students, teaching assistants, and instructors to exchange information about class events quickly and effectively.

Depending on the level of access assigned by the designer, both designers and students can post public calendar entries (visible to everyone in the course) or private ones (visible only to the author). Entries can be written in simple text or HTML. Calendar entries may include links to course content or to external websites, notification of assignment due dates, changes to instructor office hours, or any other scheduling information you wish to record.

With the Calendar tool, you can:

  • add, edit, and delete individual entries
  • delete multiple entries for a given day
  • compile and download a list of calendar entries
