Adding Entries to the Calendar
Public and Private Entries. You can create course-related entries that are viewable to all course members or create personal, private entries that are not viewable to the public.
Add Links to Entries. Entries can be linked to external websites or to course content items such as discussion topics or categories, assessments, or assignments. For example, you could add a calendar entry that links directly to a quiz on its due date.
Recurring Entries. You have the capability to add entries that repeat at a specified time either on several consecutive days or on selected days of the week. For instance, if you have weekly virtual office hours, you could add a single recurring entry for the entire semester, rather than creating multiple, individual entries.
