Course Management 

If you add closing dates to an Assignment, Forum, Quiz or Chat activity 

within your course, these events will show up on the  Calendar                    

automatically. You can view previous or future months on Calendar by 

clicking the left/right arrows next to the current month's name (Fig. 7). 

Today's date is always outlined in black. Other events are color coded 

based on what the event is (color key under Calendar). You can hide or 

show various categories of events by clicking on the color key.  

For example, if you wanted to hide Group event dates (events assigned 

to learner Groups you create), click  Group events  on the bottom of the

Calendar. This would hide all group events, and the color code would  

disappear from the link on the calendar. To show the events again, click 

the Group Events link again.
