The Calendar tool can be used by instructors to manage course events and activities. Associating a due date with an assignment, for example, will cause the course calendar to be populated with that date, which will help remind students of the upcoming task. Moreover, the Calendar tool is compatible with iCal and will synchronize with personal calendars (such as Outlook, Google Calendar, and iPhone).
What can I do with Calendar?
Manage Your Tasks
The Calendar tool holds the dates of all courses you are involved in. You can filter which course calendars you want to see at a given time and also subscribe to a calendar. The Calendar tool also allows for the creation of Tasks. Tasks are small, personal reminders that appear below the Calendar that can be checked off and can have due dates associated with them if necessary.
Please note that your personal calendar is different from the Brightspace Calendar as the Brightspace Calendar is course-specific and visible to students.
Sync Brightspace Calendar with External Calendar Applications
The Calendar tool can be used by instructors to schedule course events for the learners in their courses. To stay on track with the heavy workload of online classes, students can subscribe to their Brightspace Calendar and integrate it with other calendar applications of their choice by using iCal feeds.
