Calendar| How to subscribe to a Calendar

Use the Calendar tool to arrange and visualize course events in multiple views and enable the integration of the course content and your Calendar.  You can subscribe to a Calendar to get updates directly to your mail.

Use iCal feeds to access your Calendar events outside of the learning tool. With iCal feeds, you can view your course events in external calendars such as Microsoft Outlook and Google Calendar, and on mobile devices such as iPhones, BlackBerry smartphones, and Android phones.

Subscribing to an iCal feed syncs your external calendar application or device with the Calendar tool, keeping you updated without logging in to Brightspace Learning Environment. Refer to your device or application instructions for adding an iCal feed, as each application can have a different method for managing iCal feeds.
