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 include an ICS file in a lesson using a Downloads content block in the New Course Builder, or a Downloads Lesson in the Classic Course Builder. This allows learners to download and save a calendar invite to their device.

For instructions, see: How to Add Downloads to a 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.
