The Calendar has so many benefits and uses. Check them out below:

Choose what you see: Courses can be enabled/disabled in the Calendar view

• Different views: User can choose month, week, or agenda view
• Calendar, Assign Dates in course, and Syllabus work in conjunction: Change date in one place and it updates all the others!
• Icons are clear: Assessments, when assigned, will appear on calendar with an icon representing which assessment type it is (Assignment, Discussion or Quiz)
• Upon student submission: Items will cross off on the student calendar
• Items cross off on the instructor's calendar: When the due date has passed and all items have been graded
• Events can also be added: They appear with the calendar icon

Here are some additional ways users can make the Calendar work for them:

• The Scheduler tool is a way to allow students to sign up for appointment slots
• Calendar can sync to another calendar software using the iCal calendar feed link
• Assignment shells can be built directly from the Calendar
