student calendar sign ups appointment with multiple tutors

[JonathanCroose]

Hi. I want to set up a calendar sign-up sheet within a course on Canvas that allows individual students to sign up for a 30 minute individual appointment with their assigned tutor on a course. There are nine tutors on the course. Each tutor has an allocated list of individual students. How can I use calendar so that students can see their individual tutor's availability and sign up for a tutorial slot with that tutor? Thanks.

@JonathanCroose One way to restrict which students can see appointments in the calendar is using Sections. You may be able to create custom sections in your course ( How do I add a section to a course as an instructor? ), but you might have to request it through your system admin. If you can make a section for the students associated with each tutor, you can then associate students with their tutor's section ( How do I edit sections for an enrollment in a course? ). Then each tutor can create appointment groups for their own section only. Good luck!

Thanks for the info. Sounds like a plan. I am investigating with our systems team and will let you know how we get on.
