The Schedule tab automatically compiles information about the current week of the course, and presents a calendar of other events happening later in the month.

This Week

The instructor Schedule tab. The page identifies that it is Week 4, and names the topic covered that week. There is a link to two assignments due that week and an online meeting occurring that week. A link is provided to the Week 4 folder in Content.

The first section of the Schedule tab pulls information from various sources to present students a summary of information and tasks relevant to the current week. Items collected include:

  • Assignments, Quizzes, and Discussions with a Due Date or End Date in the current week.
  • Checklist items, announcements, content folders, and other course content with attached dates
  • Your Weekly Meeting, if it's been configured

If your course uses the Dynamic Instructional Plan, the Schedule tab will alsopull information you’ve configured in that document, including unit learning outcomes and weekly summaries.

Calendar

A month calender is shown, displaying events occurring on various days throughout the month. Most are on Tuesdays, presumably the day this sample class occurs.

The calendar pulls the same information sources and displays events as colour-coded blocks, letting students see what assessments may be coming up in the near future.
