How to embed a google calendar in Blackboard

We use Blackboard for organizing teaching material at our University. Blackboard has a built it calendar, but this is quite difficult to use.

I use google calendar, both professionally and privately. I will show how to embed a google calendar in Blackboard.

Start by creating a new calendar for the course in your Google account:

Click on the "Customize the color, size, and other options" link in the middle of the page.

On the next page, select useful options such as:

• Default view "week"
• Week starts on Monday

When you are done, click on the "Update HTML" button on the upper right corner of the page.

Then copy all text in the window like so: 

Go to Blackboard and create a new content item ("conteúdo" in Portugese). Name this "calendar" or something similar. Click on the "Show HTML code" button ("exibição de código HTML")

Paste the text from the google calendar in the HTML window. 

Then click "Atualizar". You will see the screen below afterwards:

Click on "Enviar" and you should be done!

The calendar is dynamic and will be automatically updated by updating the google calendar.
