Some of you have been requesting this feature. Accudemia now allows users to view the college shared calendar right on their home page! In order to add the gadget, users just need to click on Add Content and select the Google Shared Calendar: And then, the shared calendar will magically appear:   For administrators, how do I set it up? The first thing you have to do is enable calendar sharing on your Google Account, and get the calendar ID of the calendar you want. You can do it by seeing the calendar settings: Then, copy your Calendar ID and paste it on Accudemia: Control Panel – Announcements – Google Shared Calendar ID. And that’s all! Comment on this post if you need further help on getting your shared calendar ID.

Since today, it’s possible to integrate your site and Accudemia. That means that users won’t need to login twice anymore; once they are on your site, it’s possible to access attendance, appointments, reports and a lot more things with just one click!
