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

Open the Agenda tool from the course homepage. You can view events in three modes:

The agenda in calendar view showing course events and deadlines

• Calendar view — A visual monthly/weekly/daily calendar

• List view — Events shown as a chronological list

• Personal events — Filter to see only events relevant to you

Creating an Event

1. Click Add event

2. Fill in the event details:

   • Title — A short name for the event

   • Start date and time

   • End date and time

   • Description — Additional details (supports rich text)

3. Choose the audience:

   • All learners — Everyone enrolled in the course

   • Specific users or groups — Select individual learners or groups

4. Optionally set a reminder to send email notifications before the event (cron setup for the portal required by an admin)

5. Save

Managing Events

• Edit — Click on an event to modify its details

• Delete — Remove an event from the calendar

• 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. Teachers have a feature to see the events (homeworks, excursions, etc) of other courses in their sessions to avoid overloading students.
