Instructors can use the calendar to post important course related events, such as assignment due dates, exams, or virtual classroom meetings. The dates and events that appear on the Course Calendar are visible to all students registered in the course. Users may also post events to their own personal calendar, which only they can view. Note: When you change an activity's attributes, a due date for example, that attribute will update throughout the entire learning environment. This updating service applies to all course tools and activities. Changing the due date of a quiz from inside the content tool will automatically update the quiz's due date in the Course Calendar and Quiz tool.

Manually Adding Course Events

Course Events can be viewed by all class participants. Personal events may only be viewed by the individual that created the event.
