The agenda tool

From ClarolineDoc

With the agenda tool, lecturers can provide information to the students about scheduled events linked to their course. The events of courses in which a user is enrolled show up in the My calendar section (in the banner) that gathers all the events in one document.

Note : students are supposed to look up the agenda on their own. For sending current/urgent information (rather than
long-term scheduled) to the users by e-mail, lecturers should use the announcements tool.
