About Calendar

The Calendar tool enables you to manage course-related or personal events. You can view dates posted for courses, such as project due dates, office hours, and exam information, or you can add personal events to track group meetings, milestones, and deadlines.

You can choose to share personal events with other users, groups, sections or org units; and view events that others have shared with you.

Course-related events are automatically shared with all users in the org unit in which you create the event. Users can view course events that you post through the Calendar tool. You can create course-related events in other tools and set them to appear in Calendar. This works with:

• Checklist
• Content
• Discussions
• Dropbox
• Grades
• Quizzes
• Surveys
