View all calendar assignments and events for a single users to their workload

[p_robinson1]

As an instructor in an institution that has only recently moved to using Canvas on a large scale where students are enrolled in 6-10 courses, many of us are finding that it is difficult to assess student workloads.  It would be helpful to get a general sense of student workload by viewing assignments and events on our students' calendars, to help us make decisions about deadlines. This is a feature that could be developed as an allowed permission by admin.  Instructors could go to People-->Select a student user-->and then run a "Workload report" that would generate a list of events/assignments across all of their Canvas courses.  Another way to give similar insight to assist instructors would be to have a popup message when putting an event/assignment on the calendar that notifies the instructor of the average number of conflicts per student.

As we just moved two schools from Schoology, this was one of the most missed features.
