On the calendar page, you can see all the instructor's learning activities in the calendar view reflected in the timezone of your device. 

Clicking an activity opens the details panel drawer. Here you see the activity time and timezone defined for the activity, and also other activities in the same offering the instructor is scheduled for.

To download the Instructor's schedule of offering activities they are teaching, use the Export to Excel button.

To configure the profile options, complete these steps in the Setup and Maintenance work area:

Tips And Considerations

These features will appear automatically if the Redwood Classroom Management and Redwood Instructor Management features are enabled.

  • The Calendars button in the calendar page opens a panel drawer where you can toggle the calendar view on or off. But you can't disable the Calendars button.
  • The time zone offset is derived from your device time and not your Oracle Fusion time zone preference. For example, the activity is scheduled for 9:00a US Eastern Time, your Oracle Fusion time zone preference is set to US Pacific Time, and your browser is set to the time zone for Paris. The calendar event uses the Paris time zone, so the event time is shown as 3:00pm in the calendar view. The details view will show the time in the time zone it was scheduled.
