The Calendar block helps instructors stay organized, and helps learners manage their time. It displays the following events:
- Site events: created by admin users - viewable in all courses.
- Course events: created by instructors - viewable only to course members.
- Group events: created by instructors - viewable only by members of a group.
- User events: personal events created by a user - viewable only by that user.
Note: Adding closing dates to assignments, forums, quizzes etc. will cause them to display in the Calendar block.
