Generate iCal calendar for any course activities, regardless of participation status
I often have to manually transcribe the multiple events from a course into my personal google calendar. This is error prone and time consuming, and I bet most people do this.
It would be awesome if the "course requirements" section of a course page that shows all the events would also contain a link to the iCal of that course so I can add all the events to my personal google calendar with a single click.
This would be useful to do with any course, not just the ones I am signed up with:
- for the courses I want to instruct at, it would be helpful to put all the course events in my personal google calendar even if I myself am not part of the class
- if I am not yet accepted into a course, I would still want to see all its events in my google calendar to make sure I don't overbook those dates.

This is being marked as complete now given we have added the iCal and Google calendar links to email confirmations for events and activities!
Thank you for submitting this idea! If you have another one, we encourage you to share it.
In the meantime, we recommend you check out our technology changelog blog as we have recently made quite a few new updates to our website.

For those also interested in what Will described, please use this idea as this current idea does not include ical live feed.

That's great to hear! I would like to keep the request of an ical feed alive though, as that will stay up-to-date as event descriptions change. For example, if a leader adds more details on a meeting area in the lead up to an event, its ideal if that is automatically synced into my calendar (which an ical feed would accomplish).
Thanks!

When you receive an email for an activity or a course that you have signed up for, have an "add to calendar" link in the email
