Did NOT see the previous posts about this idea! Good to know I'm not alone. Kinda sad that this was brought up SIX YEARS AGO, and still hasn't happened. I would think that in a post-Covid education realm, Canvas would be in use 10 times more than before, and the need for this would be greater. I'm not a technician/programmer, but it seems like something that could easily be done that would help so many users!! Hopefully, this can gain momentum again and this feature could get added to an already great LMS! ... View more

An idea for: Canvas instance calendar or school-wide calendar! It would be convenient to have a school-wide calendar, created at the admin level for editing-protection purposes, that contains holidays, school-breaks, teacher in-service days, minimum days, and other general and or local events that may pertain to all students across all courses for the entire school year. This main calendar would "trickle down" to all courses when a new course is copied or created. All Canvas users could be able to view this calendar, where they can turn it on or off, depending on their preference. Linking to an external calendar doesn't allow for users to see both the main school calendar overlaid on their Canvas course calendar. Lastly, having this school-wide or instance-wide main calendar would save teachers time in recording dates/events; it will let them focus more on their individual course dates/events, and most importantly, to ensure there or no scheduling conflicts!  Thanks! (We would be happy to beta test this!!) ... View more
