Calendaring: How to use your Moodle course calendars to keep your students up to date

  1. UPDATE: this now stopped working here. Clicking on the link from IE9, using “open with”: MS-Outlook 2010 fails with “the requested information store could not be found in the active profile”. I have not found a way to feed the Moodle ical link manually into MS-Outlook 2010 (Shared Calendars / Add Calendar / From Internet) or OWA different problem). Stay tuned
  2.  Easy if you use standard Moodle assignments: “Adding closing dates to course activities — assignments, quizzes etc. will cause them to show up in the calendar block as course events. “
  3. Other assignments you have to add manually, like so:
  4. calendar-view
  5. new-event
  6. Resulting in this:  new-event-result1or this:
  7. new-event-result
  8. Editing your calendar in other applications and importing, even synching it with Moodle is not currently (2.1) supported.
  9. More on Calendar you can find in the official 1.9 Moodle calendar doc and FAQ.
