Instructor Smith needs a student and instructor course calendar that auto-populates from assignments, exams, discussion forums, etc. within the LMS. He needs the flexibility to see all course due dates from this course and all of his other courses in a single view or to select an individual course. His students need the same capability between their courses with the ability to automatically sync to the native calendar of their mobile device. The course calendar should adapt to the student or instructor location and display time zone differences accordingly.

One additional feature students need is for the calendar to remind them of upcoming key dates/events by text message, email, LMS announcement, and mobile app notification. Students need the ability to pick and choose how they are notified.
