Using WebParts syntax to navigate OWA?
When you train in OWA, you can take advantage of sending your students directly to certain interfaces of OWA, for doing specific hands-on tasks. If they are not alreay logged in, they seem to get redirected to the desired view in the end Working example:
https://mail.uncc.edu/owa/?cmd=contents&fpath=Calendar&view=Weekly&archivestub=1
Limitations seem to be in the browsers: IE> Firefox > Safari.
However, I could not find a way to send a user to a specific view of an OWA published calendar (seems to default always to monthly). Non-working eexamples:
bad request http://mail.uncc.edu/owa/calendar/LRCtutor11@uncc.edu/Calendar/calendar.html?view=Weekly 404 http://mail.uncc.edu/owa/calendar/LRCtutor11@uncc.edu/Calendar/Weekly/calendar.html#
See documentation here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232199.aspx
Can you use webbparts to save your users to have to change the view 
when they open up a calendar like http://mail.uncc.edu/owa/calendar/LRCRoomCOED434@uncc.edu/Calendar/calendar.html#, or another way to open this calendar not in its (monthly) default view?

How to duplicate assignments in Moodle course sections by importing
- Limitation: You cannot use other users’content. Use the backup/restore content procedure instead.
- Benefits are:
- You can save the time it would take to redo the assignment from scratch.
- plus avoid breaking things when you try and copy the assignment over manually: this built –in way does not break links.
- But have to jump through these hoops:
- Start here:
- Choose your source course which has the assignment:
- Then choose what assignment you want to import:
- Jump
- through

How to poll for the best meeting time using Meeting Requests
- Please also see the follow-up user-perspective video here: How to respond to a poll for the best meeting time using Meeting Requests.
- A traditional issue around the LRC is getting busy teachers to agree on a common workshop time. Ideally, the scheduling assistant would automate this by allowing you to see the common free time slot in their busy timelines. However, this requires that the university calendaring system has already been widely adopted. In the meantime, meeting requests can still greatly facilitate finding this most common free time, by serving as a poll.
- To find the most popular time slot, send a number of alternative meeting requests with the instruction: “If interested in the workshop, please accept those times during which you could attend. I will only not cancel the most popular meeting time”. (Make sure that respondents know that they can “Edit response before sending” to include a message, or else this will skew the tally).
- At the end, you can easily tally the response in your calendar, and, as the meeting organizer, cancel the unpopular ones:
- And you can spare everybody one final summary email: “ Mark your calendars!” . The interested parties’ calendar has already be marked.

An LLAS-sponsored workshop held at Aston University in Birmingham and University of Nottingham.
