LRC Outlook/Exchange 2010 Resource Calendaring: How students can view resource "Calendars from the Internet" in web browser and OWA

  1. Want a shorter version?
  2. Students, unless specifically TBA:invited, will encounter a permission problem when trying to view calendars like staff.
  3. Instead, students can use the scheduling assistant to view a basic version of the resource’s calendar. This works “out of the box”.
  4. Students can also view an advanced version of the resource’s calendars (one-time, or bookmark this link in your web browser – hope you know how to synch your bookmarks between all the devices you use…). This requires little work: click on the “view” link  in the “student calendar” column of our  list of LRC resources that you can book or check out, to see the current calendar in your web browser: student-internet-calendar-in-browser
  5. For students  who check the calendar of a resource regularly (e.g. to see when the LRC main classroom is available for your self-access/the tutor in your language, for help), it is better to “bookmark” the resources’ calendars in NINERMAIL. Here is how:
    1. Copy the URL for the calendar you just opened, from the web browser address bar: student-internet-calendar-in-browser-uri-marked
    2. Go to NINERMAIL,  click on the lower left “Calendar-icon” calendar-icon_thumbto unfold the “My Calendars” list my-calendar-icon_thumb in the left pane, then right-click on “My Calendars”, choose “Add Calendarowa-mycalendars-add1_thumb1 .
    3. In the “Calendar URL” field, paste URL of the calendar you just opened, but replace “html” at the  end with “ics”: student-internet-calendar-in-owa2-marked, click “OK”.
    4. For on-premise users in OWA (seems OWA stirs on-premise users to the superior intranet calendars, which would be good. But what if the intranet calendar has not been shared with this user, but internet sharing is intended?), This may not work as advertised (neither with protocol http and webcal) OR just need a lot of time (~12hours?) to synchronize,student-internet-calendar-in-owa-errorwhile it works (both with protocol http and webcal) when subscribing from Windows Live? student-internet-calendar-in-windows-live-works. Most importantly for us (as we have now tested), it works for students with accounts in the cloud from NINERMAI.
    5. OWA remembers your internet calendar subscriptions, and you can easily display or hide them, using the checkboxes it provides. To keep an overview over your calendars added from the internet, you need to rename them, by right-clicking on them, like so: student-calendar-adding-renaming
