The Date Manager allows instructors to assign new dates to every lesson item in their courses as they prepare to teach the course in a new semester.

  1. See every lesson item and all dates associated with that item in a single tabular view.
  2. Change the dates associated with every item in the single tabular view, or use a calendar pop-up to set individual dates.
  3. The calendar pop-up combines a contextualized calendar view with simple point-and-click assignment of dates to individual lesson items.

The pop-up date tool is especially effective because it shows a rolling calendar of dates, with highlighted dates when the course meets. The name of the lesson item is displayed at the top of the dialog box; users can move between lesson items by clicking a button. To assign a date to particular lesson item, the instructor simply highlights a date on the calendar and clicks the appropriate scheduling button below it.
