Calendar is crafted to ensure that program activities are seamlessly scheduled with precise dates and times, both for webinars when they occur and for lessons when they become accessible to Learners.
The best practice is to commence scheduling activities in the Calendar only once these activities have been successfully created within the program.
To access Calendar and scheduling tools, navigate to course page → Calendar:

How to schedule modules
Each module, along with its activities, can be scheduled to open for Learners at specific dates and times.
If the module is not scheduled, activities will become available to Learners based on each activity scheduled time and/or the activity access type set in the course.
Navigate to the course program → click on the module → Schedule module:
To specify the opening of activities within the module, utilize scheduling options and/or adjust the activity access type settings.
Here's an example of how this works:
The module is scheduled to open on March 22nd, which implies that Learners can begin accessing the materials within the module starting from March 22nd.
The activity access type in the course is set to Current and previous activities are available, which implies that Learners cannot access a lesson within the module until they have completed the preceding lesson, even if the module opens on March 22nd.
The module also includes a webinar scheduled for March 29th. Learners access additional materials related to the webinar once they have completed the preceding activities in the module (according to Current and previous activities are available setting). However, they are expected to join the webinar itself on March 29th.
How to create new online sessions
Note:
Utilize this method solely to craft online sessions that are not intended to be a part of the program.
Why? The best practice is to create all activities on Program page to ensure that learners perceive them as a cohesive component of the program they are required to navigate in order to successfully complete the course.
Navigate to course Calendar page → Create Session button:
