How do I get something to show up on the Brightspace Calendar?

All students see the Brightspace Calendar widget on the Course Homepage in the left column under the Microsoft Teams widget. To ensure that important items are being pushed to the Calendar tool:

  • Assignments and Quizzes - add Due Date
  • Discussions - add (at least) an End Date (in the Restrictions tab) and place a check in Display in Calendar box. 
  • Content item - add an End Date using Edit Properties in Place.
    • Alternatively, you can add End Date/Calendar using Course Tools > Course Admin > Manage Dates.
  • Add Due Date to integrated Textbook assignments and Sync to Brightspace course.
  • Manually Create Event for ONL recurring (or one-off) Virtual Class sessions. *The Course Home Microsoft Teams and Calendar widgets do not “talk” to each other.
