1.1.6 Provide display options for course Schedule

2.3. Use of the Moodle Calendar Block and Upcoming Events Block

Calendar is a standard feature inside Moodle that is widely used for the course orientation and scheduling. It can give a vivid overview of different types of events (shaded in different colours) that are connected to the course schedule. Teachers (but also students) have the option to insert different events into relevant dates.

A very useful function that Calendar block provides is the possibility of exporting, i.e. printing of the calendar itself for the usage outside of Moodle site environment.

Some of the standard calendars that are used for personal needs by teachers or students (like Google calendar) can also easily feed the Moodle Calendar. Still, the usefulness of such a functionally in course environment is arguable.

Upcoming Events block provides a function similar to Calendar but in a different format. In this case all the events are listed chronologically in a block with their relevant names and dates, separately, one below the other.

Upcoming Events block and Calendar block can be synchronized inside the Moodle page, thus can be used jointly!
