The Calendar is your personal Brightspace calendar. The Calendar Widget can be found on the UU home page and on the Course Home of each course. The calendar of a specific course can be found on the home page of that course. Deadlines are also indicated in the Calendar. The Calendar is always visible on the right-hand side of the course Home Page, below the Announcements as the Calendar Widget.  

The Calendar widget consists of two parts:   

• ‘Calendar’: this shows the calendar view when the widget is closed. Click the arrow to open the full calendar. The current date is displayed in bold, and events are indicated by a blue dot below the date.   

• ‘Upcoming events’: this is a list of upcoming events. Click the arrow to view them. 

If you click on the arrow next to the calendar, there are three options:

1. ‘Go to Calendar’
2. ‘Subscribe’
3. ‘Collapse this widget’ 

If you choose ‘Go to Calendar’, you will see the following screen:The Calendar lets you view events for today, tomorrow, or the whole week. This also lets you filter events by date, course or category.  ‘Day’ shows you an hour-by-hour overview of a chosen day. ‘Week’ shows an overview of the calendar for the whole week and ‘Month’ shows the calendar view for the whole month. ‘List’ shows all upcoming events in a list view, which is also a convenient way to filter events.  Use <|>  to see all events for today and tomorrow, the next 7 days, or the next 14 days. 

If you click ‘Subscribe’, you will see the following screen:

In this screen, it is possible to download the calendar with all events of all courses, and implement it in an external calendar.  You can download the calendar of one specific course by clicking on ‘All Calendars and Tasks’ and then selecting a specific course.  

If you choose ‘Collapse this Widget’ you will make the calendar widget close itself and become small. If you want to make it large again, click ‘Expand this Widget’ to make the widget large again.
