Appointment Booking

Appointment Booking allows an instructor to offer one-on-one private appointments with students. 

The instructor can offer open slots for designated time periods, each open slot appears, and allows for just one reservation. Students can reserve an available appointment; booked appointment slots appearwith the word 'Taken'. Only the teacher will know who has booked the appointment.

Upcoming appointments will appear in the left-hand column. Instructors can also use the calendar to scroll through their online appointments, and click on scheduled appointments for more information.

Expert Tip for Teachers:

• Blocks scheduled by the teacher are available for all the courses that the teacher has in Canvas. This allows the teacher to effectively manage office hours across various courses. The appointments slots cannot be hidden from another course (where you are a teacher).
• The Appointment Booking module can be used for office hours, tutoring, counselling and other private meeting options.
• If an appointment session is recorded, the recording will not appear in Event Recordings.  Only the instructor can access the recording through their ConferZoom account.
