Question
- Is it possible to add a calendar invite to my course?
- Can I add my .ICS calendar file for students to download?
Solution
While there currently isn't a calendar lesson type, you can use a Downloads Lesson to allow students to download and save a calendar invite (ICS file) to their computer files and calendars.
Another option, to display calendar events in a course, is to embed a Google Calendar (or similar) in a Multimedia or Text Lesson.
Embed a Google Calendar
- For a Multimedia Lesson, you will need the Public URL to this calendar, which can be found in your Google Calendar Integrate settings. The URL is added to the Use externally hosted content URL field in your Multimedia Lesson.
- For a Text Lesson, you will need the Embed code, which can be found in your Google Calendar Integrate settings. This code is added to the Code View in a Text Lesson, using the </> button in the text editor.
