Thanks Chris, glad to hear this is under consideration and the plans re ideas conversion. Staggering that there are over 4,000 of them, but hope the most useful will succeed! Kind regards, Barry

Agree with previous comment. What is also weird is that the syllabus automatically links to the calendar but the calendar can't link to the modules so the student gets the same information (the timing and title) but has to find their way back to the modules and look for the item!

I'm beginning to think Canvas is a poor man/woman's LMS - there are simply so many simple things that you can't do, this being one of them. Is there anyone actually paying attention to all these issues?

Thanks for sharing Nick; am not so familiar with toggles/expanders but this is clearly an area worth exploring, which I will therefore do (emojis I can handle right now though):)
So grateful for your help - !

Thanks again Nick - this sounds a very neat solution; I will give this a go as I can also structure on a day by day basis. I'm just wondering though how you present the day pages - I guess you could simply have a master page with dates that link through to each day page (and/or from the calendar). Would appreciate hearing if you have another solution!
Thanks! Barry

Hi Nick
Thanks so much for coming back on this!
I like your idea of putting the assignment in as an event and then linking to the assignment but as you say, a lot of work. I looked at using syllabus to show 'from-to' times but that doesn't help either as assignments only show up there with the due date too.
Like I said the problem with the 'next' button is that unless it moves to the actual next item in the agenda students will miss the real next item. I'd like to think that my students would intuitively understand the significance of a single time/date but not sure I should:)
On balance I think the best solution for me is to use modules to provide the complete picture and to provide a (manual) separate timetable for everything - pity as this could be so easily done automatically.
Anyway once again many thanks for thinking along with me on this!
Barry

Hi, I'm new to Canvas and trying to set up a course that includes both live events such as a webinar and assignments such as quizzes. For both types I want to set time slots e.g. from 10.00 am to 11.00 am and I want these time slots to appear on both the calendar and on the syllabus. This is possible for calendar events but not for assignments: the latter only show the due date (which in this case would be the end of the time slot). This can be very confusing in particular on the calendar view that only shows the start date for events (unless you hover) and the due date for assignments (at least on the syllabus you are told that the time is the due date but on the calendar it just shows a time). In other words, on the calendar you see the start time for a calendar event and the end time for an assignment! Does anyone out there have a workaround for this?
A related issue is that once an assignment is finished the student has the option to press the next button and this takes them to the next assignment which is not necessarily the next item on the calendar (i.e. if this is a calendar event). Expecting (new) students to intuitively understand that 'next' does not mean the next event and that they have to return either to the calendar or the syllabus to see the whole story seems to be rather unrealistic. Again any workarounds would be gratefully received.
Thanks in advance for any tips:)
