We'd like to have a place in Populi to post Office Hours for the benefit of front office staff being able to quickly answer questions, and for students who need to meet with a counselor, who may or may not be one of their teachers. Currently, the only place we have to look is on the office door, or looking up the course to see if it can found on the syllabus.

Adam Sentz Official comment You can now set office hours on the Faculty tab of a faculty's profile.

Adam Sentz Have you considered making a news item at the beginning of a term with a list of office hours for faculty and staff?

Deborah Haggett I'd like to reach out to all the distance learning students and post a schedule of my available hours for student advising for the next 3 weeks. How can I do it in such a way that they 1. receive an email; 2. log into their account; 3. sign up for a block of time; (All done asynchronously) Meaning when a student wants to be advised on Monday at 2:00 they notice the slot is taken so they sign up for Tuesday at 2:00 instead. I'm thinking there might be something available for that. Let me know. OR should I look for a scheduling tool in Google.

Nic Toney Adam, I know this is now implemented, but I think a useful tweak would be to have the "show office hours from 'default'" drop-down always active.
I just added some hours to myself for a later date, then switched from "current courses" to a different semester, and the hours dissapeared. I couldn't find them again until I added a new hours without "as of" date. Then I saw the dropdown.
Does that make sense?
Default is to always show the option.Thanks!

Adam Sentz Nic Toney - We're gonna call that one a bug. We'll get that fixed up soon. Thanks for letting us know!

Nic Toney Hey Adam Sentz, got another suggestion: Can we change the Office Hours to include the Staff role as well as faculty?
This could allow us to use the feature internally for administrative purposes across all staff/faculty.Thank you!

Adam Sentz Nic Toney - I'd recommend opening a new feature request about that since this on is marked Completed.

Robin van Maarth How do we change office hours once we've added them in the Faculty Profile?
