Four New Features in Blackboard. Part 2: The Calendar

The calendar now has a fresh modern look.

It will no longer appear as a ‘module’ on the Home page, but is accessible by the Global Navigation Menu in the top right of the screen.

Or, you can create a link on the side bar. Or from the Tools section on the Home page.

Using the Calendar.

Some of the things you can do in the new calendar:

• Due dates for assignments are automatically placed in the calendar.
• Drag and drop calendar items if you need to change them. This also updates due dates  for assignments.
• Colour code different types of events, and list personal, institutional, or individual courses.
• Choose to look at daily, weekly or monthly views.
• Export your calendar to Microsoft Outlook, Google calendar or other third party calendars.
