Unit 3 Now You Try: Create a Calendar Item
- Due No Due Date
- Points None
Overview
Canvas automatically adds events to the class calendar for course tools that have dates associated with them (likely your assessments but also things like Modules). You can also add Events that are not connected to online content, like something taking place on campus or even when your face-to-face class is meeting. A non-assignment event can include a link to a Module, Discussion, or Content Page. All Calendar events appear on the Syllabus page. Additionally, users can subscribe to the Canvas Calendar feed, so their course events can appear in any calendar application that accepts an iCal feed.
Instructions
Create a non-assignment calendar event in your sandbox. Feel free to click the More Options button and add a link to a Module, Discussion, or Content Page.
