About Appointments

Appointments lets the instructor schedule and manage blocks of time for individual meetings with students.  

• Instructor specifies a block of time and meeting slots
• Students reserve slots
• Instructor and student meet 1-on-1 in Zoom

Appointments can be used for:

• instructor office hours
• private support for projects or homework
• personalized feedback

NOTE: Appointments is not enabled in courses by default.  The instructor must enable the tool in course Navigation.
( How do I manage Course Navigation links? )
