The Calendar Tool allows students and instructors to share 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). Calendar entries may include links to course content or to external websites, assignment due dates, instructor office hours, or any other course information.
