Two-way sync with calendars

Follow

I would like to see a way to more easily manage the importing of external calendars.

Our school manages group calendars outside of Schoology so they can be synced with our website and email server. It would be great to see a 2-way sync available, or the following improvements as well:

• Ability to periodically re-import a feed without creating duplicate entries.

• Clear the contents of a group calendar so that it can be updated with new events

• A list-view with checkboxes for calendar events to delete and later re-load events

  Trying to manage college rep visits, scholarship updates, and other school counseling events in two places at once. Gotta have two-way sync!

  Please add two-way sync with Google Calendar as soon as possible.

  I don't understand how this issue came up in 2013 and here it is 2018 and nothing has happened. My school started using Schoology last year and will be using it from here on out. This year they are requiring that we use the Schoology calendar and it would be so much easier if I could just link my Google calendar that I have down to near perfection instead of having to worry about the calendar NOT UPDATING when I make changes on the Google calendar. I understand that coding takes time but come on, this is crazy! I LOVE Schoology except for this one lack of feature.

  I have given up.  For the most part I have switched to Google Classroom. So much easier.

  I understand that ironing out details and what not takes time, but 5 years seems excessive. Can you please let us know how things are going and if this is truly even feasible?

  Any forward movement on this? Our school is clamoring to be able to sync calendars both ways.

  Has there been any movement on this since the "official comment" from 2017?

  I say we give up on this idea. It's been an idea since 2013 I believe.

  This is rather ridiculous.  It doesn't appear that Schoology is losing enough customers to merit addressing this request.  Time to look at other platforms, perhaps Google Education Suite.

  I predominately use Google Classroom.  Workflow is so much more easy for my students and myself. I only use Schoology for assessments and with the evolution of Google Forms and their quizzing features I will eventually abandon Schoology all together.

  I would like both students and faculty to import their class schedules by copying the webcal link from our SIS and importing that into Schoology. Additionally, this should be a live link with real-time updates. if there is a change to their class schedule, particularly at the beginning of the year, then the Schoology calendar automatically updates.
