How do I set a different event date for each section in a course calendar?
If you are an instructor and your course has sections, you can set different event dates for each section in the Calendar.
Notes:
- You need to add sections to your course before you can set a different date for an event for each section.
- You can also add duplicate calendar events for course sections.
Open Calendar
In Global Navigation, click the Calendar link.
Add Event
Click the Add icon.
View More Options
Add a title [1] and location for the event [2]. The date and time fields are automatically populated based on the current date but do not need to be removed.
In the Calendar drop-down menu [3], select the course calendar for the event.
To add different dates for each section, click the More Options button [4].
Use Different Date
Click the Use a different date for each section checkbox.
Set Section Dates
The default date is removed and replaced with all the sections in your course.
For each section, type in a date, or select a date by clicking the Calendar icon [1], and specify the start and end time [2]. If you don't want one section to see the event, leave the date and time fields blank.
Create Event
Click the Create Event button.
View Events
View the events in your course calendar. Each section will have a separate Calendar event.
Notes:
- Events that include a conferencing link in the description or location field display a Join button on students' List View Dashboard.
- You cannot edit the Location field when editing separate events. The Location field can only be edited by editing the main calendar event.
