(LMS) Creating Events in the Planner – GCU Technical Support

The Planner allows you to view course assessments and events in a Month, Week, or Day view. When first entering the Planner, you will be in the Month view by default. Just like the Weekly Calendar on the Dashboard, you will have gradable items scheduled here. Clicking on the title will take you directly to the item itself. For example, clicking on an assignment’s title in the calendar will take you to the assignment dropbox. Hovering over a scheduled item will give you more details such as item start and due dates. You can also filter calendar items by Classes, Type, and Status.

You can create your own customized schedule items to be displayed on the calendar by clicking Add Personal Event in the upper right corner of the screen. Enter a Title and Description, choose the Type, set the Start/End Dates and Times, and select the class in which you would like this event to show. Add the event to your calendar by clicking Save.

NOTE When creating a personal event, you can change the color that is displayed in the Planner. Class events created by the instructor can only be changed by them. The color for assignments, quizzes, and discussion questions cannot be changed.

You can export your Planner to your Google Calendar by clicking Export Calendar.

NOTE When attempting to export the planner, you may receive an error stating the export has failed. This is currently a known issue, for more information or to receive updates, please refer to our LMS Known Issues article.
