The Calendar can be used by administrators to communicate public events as shown above and by faculty to communicate course and group events.
Depending on your role within the Internet Campus Community, you may have the ability to select from different calendars that are available on your homepage. You may view public events on your public calendar or, if you have been assigned to specific roles, choose to view the events for that role by selecting the calendar from the drop down menu as illustrated below.
Students can view items created for a student by the administrator and items related to a course in which the student is enrolled. A student may also add personal events or items for a group which they manage. Faculty can add personal events as well as course or group-specific events. Members of a group can view the calendar information for their groups and the group leader or president can add calendar items for the members to view.
The Calendar can be viewed directly from any page on which it is located or by clicking on the toolbar icon. Your calendar will show events that apply directly to you.
When the Internet Campus interfaces with your administrative software, the classes for which you have registered will appear on the day and time that the class is scheduled to meet. If you are a member of a group, you will have access to the calendar information that has been established for that group.
Students
