Subscribing to a calendar in Outlook 2007

If you use an Outlook 2007 calendar, you can have your Moodle calendar
events overlaid on top (or placed side by side) by following these steps: 

1.   Go to the calendar view in your Moodle install and find the orange ical
icon at the bottom and right click it, choosing "copy link location". This
link will permanently subscribe to the calendar events for the currently
logged in user. 

2.   Open Outlook 2007 and go to Tools->account settings->internet
calendars->new. 

3.   Paste in the address you copied from Moodle. 

4.   Click OK and close. 

5.   You should now see another calendar available on the left hand calendar
bar, underneath 'My Calendars'. Enable this and Outlook will update the
calendar every time it opens. 

6.   Right-click on the tabs to choose between 'side by side mode' and
'overlay mode'.

calendar linking 

 

Great way to encourage staff to use the Outlook calendar for combining
personal and school event views.  Offers intro to advanced calendar uses
like invitations to meetings etc.
