Discussions in D2L do not have built-in due dates, only end dates. If you’d like to manually add a due date for a discussion to the calendar, these steps will be helpful.
1. To begin, from the Course Calendar, select the blue "Create Event" button.
2. A Create Event page will generate. If you want to associate course content with the event, select "Add Content".
If you are creating a general event not associated with a specific piece of content (such as adding a discussion due date), skip to Step 4b.
3. An Add Content window will appear. Browse the content and select the content you want to add to the event then select the "Add" button to confirm your selection.
By default, the added content becomes the event title.
4a. You also can click "Use custom name" to give the event a different title. Enter a title for the event.
4b. If you need to add a general event to the calendar without associating it with content, enter the title manually.
If you need to add a discussion due date to the calendar (since discussions only have end dates) this is where you would to so.
5. Then enter a description to provide learners with additional details about the event.
6. Next, set the date and time for the event. You can select "Add Recurrence" to repeat the event. The event will automatically display indefinitely in the calendar when you create it. If you would like to hide or set visibility for the event, you can do so by "Adding Restrictions".
7. Next, enter a location to inform learners where the event will take place. When you are done, select "Create".
8. To view the event in the calendar click the "Month" tab. The event will display in the calendar and it will also display in the calendar widget, if you have enabled it on the course homepage.
