Calendar
Calendar allows students, teaching assistants, and instructors to exchange information about class events quickly and effectively. Depending on the calendar settings chosen, both instructors and students can post public calendar entries (visible to everyone in the course) or private ones (visible only to the author). Entries can be simple text or HTML. Sample calendar entries include links to course content or to relevant external websites, assignment due dates, or changes to instructor office hours. With the Calendar tool, you can:
- display daily entries
