Adding Events & Assignments to the Calendar
Keep track of important dates all in one place!
The Calendar is a global account feature, this means that you can access all of your course calendars in the same place, which makes it easy for both instructors and students to visualize due dates and manage their schedules. Calendar items are color coded by course and you can filter which course calendars you do and don't want to see simply by clicking a button.
The process for adding events and assignments to the Calendar is easy and there are many ways to accomplish the same task, so you get to choose how you work best. For example, you can build an assignment shell from the Calendar, but you can also build an assignment shell from within a module or directly on the Assignments page. An assignment shell built using the Calendar will auto-populate into Assignments and the due date will automatically appear on your Syllabus, but it will need to be manually added to your module.
