Hi everyone!<\/p>\n

Today I want to talk about the Calendar tool in D2L. To access your calendar\u00a0first\u00a0go to the D2L homepage.<\/p>\n

Next click on the ‘Tools<\/strong>‘\u00a0tab\u00a0located on the far right of the navigation bar. A drop down menu will appear, click on the ‘Calendar<\/strong>‘ link.\u00a0\"Capture\"<\/p>\n

This will take you to the calendar homepage. Here you can see what you have due in each of your classes within the month.\"Capture22\"<\/p>\n

Anything that your professor has chosen to give an opening or closing date to will appear on the calendar. Any\u00a0changes the professor makes will automatically be updated on your personal calendar.<\/p>\n

You can switch to different views of your upcoming events by clicking on the different options at the top; Agenda, Day, Week, Month, and List.\"Capture2\"<\/p>\n

The month view can be the most useful because you can see what weeks will have more assignments due than others so you\u00a0can plan accordingly.<\/p>\n

Your calendar could potentially contain content from every class that you are currently enrolled in as well as other things like ongoing jobs and general Whitewater content.\"Capture4\"<\/p>\n

You can\u00a0manage what you see on the calendar by going to \u2018All Calendars<\/strong>\u2019. Here it\u00a0shows all the calendars that you are subscribed to. You can add and remove any calendar that you want. This means you can add on your work times or club activities if you wanted. The display colors can be\u00a0also be customized to your liking!<\/p>\n

The last and maybe most important aspect of the calendar, is the fact that you can add your own tasks and reminders to it. You can do that by typing them in the bar on the right hand side of the page.<\/p>\n
