Learners can add a BizClassroom session to their external calendar (e.g., Outlook, Google Calendar) to easily access training the day of an event.
Adding Classrooms to an External Calendar
- Log in to BizLMS:
- Access your BizLMS account and navigate to the Classroom section or search for the desired training session.
- Register for the Session:
- Make sure you’ve registered for the session. This will typically allow access to calendar options.
- Find the Calendar Option:
- Open the session details page.
- Look for an option to Add to Calendar or Download Calendar Invite (this might appear as an .ics file).
- Download the .ics File:
- Click the calendar link to download the .ics file. This file contains the event details, including date, time, location, and description.
- Import to External Calendar:
- Open your preferred calendar application (e.g., Outlook, Google Calendar).
- Follow these steps depending on your calendar:
- Outlook: Double-click the .ics file to open it, then select Save & Close.
- Google Calendar: Open Google Calendar in your browser.
- Click the + icon next to "Other Calendars" and choose Import. Then upload the .ics file and select the destination calendar.
- Apple Calendar: Open the .ics file directly, and it will import into the default calendar app.
- Verify Event Details:
- Confirm that the event appears in your external calendar with the correct details.
- Additional Tips:
- Recurring Sessions: If the classroom session is recurring, ensure all occurrences are imported (some systems require manual entry for repeat events).
- Time Zone Settings: Check that your calendar's time zone matches the session's listed time to avoid confusion.
- Updates: If there are changes to the session (e.g., time or link), BizLMS may send an updated .ics file or notification.
This feature helps learners keep track of their sessions by integrating them seamlessly into their existing schedules.
