The following video, images, and instructions will guide you through the calendar tool and its functions.

The Calendar displays personal, institutional and course events to students and instructors. All individuals can add events to their personal calendars, and in addition, instructors can add due dates to course calendars.

The calendar can be displayed by day, week or month. You can also view and organize events into categories. Course calendar events appear to all users enrolled in the course,
while personal calendar events can only be viewed by the specific user.
