Creating agendas
You can create agendas using the Calendar tool or the Activities tool. They behave the same no matter where you create them.
Creating agendas with the Calendar tool
- Open your Calendar and select the day to which you want to add the agenda.
- Select the Add agenda button in the toolbar.
- Select the course the agenda is for.
- Create the content using the rich text editor.
- Select Save.
Creating agendas with the Activities tool
- Select the Activities tool from the desired Course Card on the Main Menu to see the course's Home Page.
- Select the date for which you want to create the agenda and select the pencil (edit) icon next to Agenda.
- Create the content using the rich text editor.
- Select Save.
Duplicating agendas across courses
You can easily duplicate existing agendas across courses in the same Master/Derivative chain using the Activities tool. This is ideal for teachers with multiple sessions of the same course.
To duplicate agendas:
- Select the Activities tool from desired Course Card on the Main Menu.
- Select the desired day, and select the copies (duplicate) icon next to the pencil (edit) icon.
- Check the box next to each course in which you'd like to duplicate the agenda and select OK.
- This action overwrites existing agendas in the selected courses.
- If your agenda includes links to activities that aren't found in the selected courses, those links may not work when duplicated.
Tips
- Creating agendas is a great way to let students know what's coming up, help them stay on-task during the day, and provide them an additional resource for making up missed days.
