The calendar can display site, course, group, user and category events in addition to assignment and quiz deadlines, chat times and other course events. To add category events, one must have the permission to edit categories. Please consider this if you’re trying to utilize this feature for that purpose.
The creation of new events is accomplished by navigating into the calendar month or day (link) itself and then clicking the button for “New Event”. The last step is to add in event information accordingly as seen below. The link to “Show More” allows for the incorporation of information such as further description of the event as well as a duration for the event.
