Does this look familiar? Notes here and there, strewn all over the place in an unorganized manner. The Canvas calendar is your organizing friend. It will help you and your students track upcoming tasks or events. Due dates for each class are automatically put on the calendar for you and your students. The calendar "course color" coincides with the color on your dashboard. To see one course, uncheck the specific course colors. Only the calendar entries will show for those selected courses. Each user has a personal calendar, too. When making an entry on the calendar, be sure you have selected the correct course. By default, your personal calendar is selected.

Calendar colors are linked to dashboard course colors. Icons coincide with type of assignment - discussion, assignment, calendar entry

Of course, Canvas has another cool feature called the Scheduler. It allows you to set up appointment times for your students either individually or as a group. You choose how many and the time limit for each. It's great for office hours! Students won't be waiting in line outside of your door.
