# Agenda

The agenda tool lets you schedule events and deadlines within your course. Events appear on a calendar that your learners can view.

## Viewing the Agenda

* **Drag and drop** — In calendar view, drag events to reschedule them

## Personal Agenda

You also have a **personal agenda** accessible from the sidebar. The personal agenda aggregates events from all your courses into a single view. This is where learners see their combined schedule across all courses they are enrolled in.

## Tips

* **Set deadlines** — Create events for assignment due dates and exercise deadlines so learners can see them in their calendar
* **Use reminders** — Enable email reminders for important events to help learners stay on track
* **Coordinate with sessions** — If you teach in multiple sessions, each session has its own events, visible only to that session's learners
