to-do events in instructors calendar

Please advise

As an instructor, am I supposed to have the to-do events option in calendar? From the canvas instructor guides and videos I have seen, to-do events option in calendar does not show. Why does it show for me? I am not enrolled as a student in any course. Please see the attached.

Hi @PheelloMakhele,

While it doesn't seem like the guides specifically state this, as far as I know in my years as a Canvas admin, the "My To Do" option is available to any Canvas user, regardless of their roles in a course. When creating a My To Do, it should end up on your own personal Canvas calendar, not on for a specific course.

Hope this helps!

Thanks so much for clearing this confusion, @chriscas. Please see the screenshot I attach here - it doesn't have the 'My To Do' option. I took the screenshot from this here: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-an-event-to-a-course-calendar/ta-p/948

Ungraded Checkpoint Discussions Not Showing

Overlapping Scroll Bars

A small pre-submission habit that’s helped with written assignments in Canvas
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
