Right now Populi creates a google calendar for each course instance which is awesome... however, I'd love to see a two improvements:

1. If the semester could be in the title (say in parenthesis at the end) so that it's easy to distinguish what calendars you can delete/remove or are viewing.
2. If the course calendar could be made public so that students could share the calendar with their personal gmail accounts.

Thanks for considering!!

  Hi Clint, 

  If you want to spend the time clicking through each Google Apps course calendar, you could actually make every calendar public. You just need to login as the populiadmin@pacificlife.ca user in Google Apps. Since that user created all of the course calendars, it has the ability to manage sharing of all of the course calendars. If you need the password for populiadmin@pacificlife.ca go ahead and give us a call. Just don't reset the password for that user or the Populi/Google integration will break.

  Thanks!

  Mark

  Thanks for the quick response Mark... Is it possible for Populi, when it creates the calendar, for it to set as public... I really don't want to spend the time going through 240 classes each semester to change them manually.

  That would have to be a new feature since school's would vary in their preference on calendar visibility. Thanks for requesting this!
