Creating Calendar Events for Your Course
You can set up events in your
course calendar so that they display on your students' calendars. This is
especially useful for showing Zoom meetings/links so that they are easy to find
and access for students.
1. To set up events in the
Calendar, select Calendar from your course page by clicking the arrow to open
the drop down menu and selecting "Go to Calendar".
2. Then select "Create
Event".
3. Then you can enter in your event
title and description, set the day/time, and even paste the Zoom link directly
into the description area so students can click through to it.
4. In order to paste a link like
the Chapel does (where it says "Join via Zoom here" with the words
hyperlinked), click the chain icon in the menu bar of the description box.
5. In the menu that opens, scroll
down and select URL.
6. Then paste your URL in the link
box and type your wording that you would like to display in the title box and
click Insert.
7. You can set the time/dates of
the event and make it recurring under the "When" section.
8. You can even set a restriction
for which students can see the event (if it's a precept that not all students
would attend) under the Attendees section.
9. When you have finished editing
your event, click Create.
