Renaming Automatic Calendar Events

Thanks to Markus Geissler for sharing this discovery: When you click the check box to "Display in Calendar" when you add a date availability restriction to an item, the name of the event in the calendar is not dynamically updated if you change the name of the original item. To change the event name, you have to uncheck that box, save changes, and then re-check that box.

Inserting a Quicklink to a Calendar Event

Thanks to Mark Springer for sharing this discovery: If you want to add a quicklink to an event in your calendar, select the date of the event and then click the "Refresh Event List" button to see the events for that day in the calendar. You can attach a quicklink to an event that you created manually or to one that was created when you clicked the check box to "Display in Calendar" when you add a date availability restriction to an item.

Calendar Visibility for Course Items

For a course item to be visible in the calendar, the course offering must be active. Events in an inactive course are not visible to enrolled students and enrolled instructors. Instructors can see an item's calendar visibility by editing the item.
