All items on a Moodle course with dates (e.g. due dates for assignments) appear automatically in the Moodle calendar for that course. Staff can also upload course and group events, such as for field trips and presentations. Each user will see a combined view of all their calendar entries within their My Home page. This shows all the events across all the Moodle courses a user is enrolled on. Lectures and tutorials can either be added manually to the Moodle calendar, or imported via the UCL Common Timetable ical feed. |
...
You now have the ability to subscribe to module timetables in the UCL Common Timetable via the iCalendar feed. This is supported by Portico Services (timetable-help@ucl.ac.uk).
You can subscribe to:
- all events - including any events that a subset of students take;
- only those events that apply to the entire module cohort;
- or particular module subgroups (which might be shown to groups of students in Moodle).
...
Events might include full class lectures, as well as any module subgroup activities, such as practicals and seminars that only a subgroup of the students attend.

ALL events in multiple modules (lectures and practicals/seminars/etc...):
Events might include full class lectures, as well as any module subgroup activities, such as practicals and seminars that only a subgroup of the students attend.

It gets a little more complicated if you want to limit the feed to just a subset of the events. You add each subset - be it full cohort events (which are indicated with a hyphen) or subgroups - by surrounding the subgroup names with brackets

...
Only those events for students in the module subgroup (in brackets). It is most likely you will want to only show these events to a corresponding Moodle group, by choosing Group from the 'Type of event' menu and choosing the relevant group from the 'Group event' list. If these groups don't yet exist please see M13 - Groups and groupings to find out how to set them up. The groups need to exist before you add the calendar events for these groups.

A mixture of full class events (e.g. lectures) and the (particular module subgroup) events (PRAC1& PRAC2):
You can mix and match the above formats to show a mixture of full class activities and subgroup activitie.

Note: A link generator to simplify the generation of these URLs is in development and will be available shortly...
For testing purposes only add -uat after timetable to the above URLs.
Terminology
