This topic describes how to embed Google Calendars in your course.

Before you make content from an external site available through your course, be sure to review the content to ensure that it is accessible to people with disabilities. For more information, see Accessibility Best Practices Checklist.

You can also add Google Drive files, such as documents, spreadsheets, and images, to your course. For more information, see About the Google Drive Files Tool.

Note

Google services are not available in some regions and countries. If Google services are not available in a learner’s area, the learner might see an “image unavailable” message in the place of the Google Drive file or Google Calendar. The recommendation is to provide alternative resources for learners in these areas.

Overview#

You can embed a Google Calendar in your course so that learners see the calendar in the course body. You can use a Google Calendar to share quiz dates, office hours, or other schedules of interest to learners.

Editing Google Calendars#

When you make changes to a Google Calendar that is embedded in your course, learners see the updates immediately. You make changes to calendars with the Google user interface. You do not need to edit the Google Calendar component.
