The Syllabus in Canvas, when used in combination with the Calendar, makes it possible to deliver content through the creation of events with linked content and date-based assessments.
Pros:
- Events are automatically created for assessments associated with a due date.
- In the Calendar simply drag and drop an event to change the due date.
Cons:
- Calendar events must be created manually for the delivery of files and pages.
- Content is available as soon as the event is posted unless the item has been locked/made unavailable at the file, page, or assessment level.
