Theme Overview

Administrators and instructors need additional options for efficient scheduling and syncing of events in course and account level calendars.

Users are able to more efficiently create calendar events, with capabilities to create multi-day events and recurring appointment slots
Admins are able to automatically add account level calendars for select users
Users are able to save time by adding events to multiple calendars at one time
Users are able to import events and sync events across calendars
