I posted this back in 2023 and nothing has changed in this space yet. I am looking to see if the canvas calendar can be more dynamic and assessable. Currently, we use faculty sub-accounts when assigning Canvas courses. My idea is to generate year level sub-accounts or use AI to consolidate the information from multiple courses into 1 calendar. If this is possible, it will generate an assessment calendar with all subject data in the one calendar. However, when I examined this idea in the test environment, each canvas course data did not get pulled into the overarching sub-account calendar. Secondly, HODs/CL/ELT cannot examine each canvas course calendar data unless they are assigned to it.
This will strengthen the use of Canvas for students, observers, and educators. Collectively, we will not need to work across multiple courses if this information is easily available on each person's Canvas Dashboard. For administrators and faculty leaders, double handling of information will not need to occur which will increase operational efficiency. Presently, for most organisations, we need to work across may systems and it is hard to obtain/ gather all information to due extra skills required.
