Create events with Create Event
The agenda's day, week, and month display can be used to create events, to put certain components of your course in your agenda or to import an external agenda (iCal file). You can change the visibility and date of certain events in the list display.
- Navigate to the Course Home of the desired course and click Calendar in the Calendar widget.
OR - Click Calendar below Site Resources.
- Click Create Event.
- Name the event using Enter Event Title. You can also link a course component using Add Content.If you link a course component, you can alter the title afterwards.
- Add a description if desired.
By linking a course component, the content of this component will be visible directly from calendar. This means the student does not have to navigate to Content and search for said course item.
- You can use Attendees to select whether the event is for everyone in the course or for a specific group.
- Enter the begin date, end date and the time of the event. Select All day if the event lasts all day. Note that this will be the date in the calendar itself, and not the date of a linked course component.
- Click Add Recurrence if you want to repeat the event every day/month/year.
- ClickA dd Restrictions to add conditions to the visibility of the event.
- If desired, add the location of the event.
