How do I set a different event date for each section in a course calendar?
If 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.
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 a 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.
Note: When the Use a different date for each section checkbox is selected, the Frequency drop-down menu is removed.
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.
