Adding LMS Calendar to Your Mobile Calendar — Lautech ODL LMS on Google Calendar

Calendar Export on Lautech ODL LMS Portal

Lautech LMS Portal allows users to export calendars so they may be imported into other calendar programs, as a backup or to create a copy. The Lautech LMS Portal export process creates an ics file .

There are two ways to create the ics file: creating an ics file for immediate downloading to a computer, or creating a url link that will create a defined calendar from a link without actually logging into the site.

Export options for an ics file

Click on the "Export calendar" button at the bottom of a calendar will bring you to the Export page with options.

1. Select "All events" or "Events related to courses"
2. Select the time frame: "This week", "This month", "Recent and next 60 days" or a custom range. The range can be set from Administration>Site administration>Appearance>Calendar by the page administrator.
3. Now you have a choice to create an icalexport.ics file or to create a url that will create the icslexport.ics file via a link.
4. Click on the "Export" button will bring up a "Opening icalexport.ics" popup window. Either save the file or have MS Outlook open the file directly.

URL file

You can watch the video at https://youtu.be/ikAZXqdEb4g 

After pressing the "Export calendar" button at the bottom of the calendar page, select the events and time frames you wish. The "Get URL address" button will create a URL address. Copy and paste the url link into an email or any HTML page. This link will compile the icalexport.ics file. For example:

https://lms.lautech.edu.ng/calendar/export_execute.php?userid=xxxxx&authtoken=7722d110e6bbf4227c1775282de8e9c3aaf7381&preset_what=all&preset_time=recentupcoming  

Importing Lautech LMS Portal calendar into other calendars via Dynamic Link

Google calendar

In Lautech LMS Portal, after pressing the "Export calendar" button at the bottom of the calendar page, select the events and time frames you wish. The "Get URL address" button will create a URL address.

In Google Calendar's "Other calendars" menu, choose "From URL" and supply the URL generated in the process described above. This version of the Google calendar will update whenever changes are made in the source Lautech LMS Portal calendar (including new, changed or deleted events), although it may take several hours for the changes to appear.

Note that this may be more or less useful. The calendar will be relative to the Lautech LMS Portal user. That is, if the user who generates the URL is enrolled in several courses, it is this information that will appear in the calendar. There is no way (at this time) to generate a URL that only applies to one course.

Subscribing to a calendar in Outlook 2007 or newer

If you use an Outlook calendar, you can have your Lautech LMS Portal calendar events overlaid on top (or placed side by side) by following these steps:

1. Go to the calendar view in your Lautech LMS Portal install and find the orange ical icon at the bottom and right click it, choosing "copy link location". This link will permanently subscribe to the calendar events for the currently logged in user.
2. Open Outlook and go to Tools->account settings->internet calendars->new.
3. Paste in the address you copied from Lautech LMS Portal.
4. Click OK and close.
5. You should now see another calendar available on the left hand calendar bar, underneath 'My Calendars'. Enable this and Outlook will update the calendar every time it opens.
6. Right-click on the tabs to choose between 'side by side mode' and 'overlay mode'.

One-time import (future updates in Lautech LMS Portal won't appear)

In Lautech LMS Portal create an export file (icalexport.ics, as detailed above) and save it on your computer.

In Google Calendar, use the settings link (usually near the sign out and help links) and select the settings tab. This will bring up the "Import Calendar" pop up window. Select the file to import and the Google Calendar the file should be imported into. Note that this method doesn't allow new (or modified) events from the Lautech LMS Portal calendar to appear in the Google calendar, unless you repeat this process. See the Dynamic Link method above .

21 Etiquettes You Need to Observe

What is Etiquette?

Etiquette refers to the forms required by a good upbringing, or prescribed by authority, to be observed in social or official life. It is the customary behavior of members of a profession, business, law, sports team, or social group towards each other.

Some Etiquettes You Need to Observe

The following are 21 common etiquettes you need to observe in your social and official life.

1. Don’t call someone more than twice continuously. If they don’t pick up your call, presume they have something important to attend to;
2. Return money that you have borrowed even before the other person remembers asking for it  from  you. It shows your integrity and character. Same goes with umbrellas, pens and lunch boxes;
3. Never order the expensive dish on the menu when someone is giving you a lunch/dinner. If possible ask them to order their choice of food for you;
4. Don’t ask awkward questions like ‘Oh so you aren’t married yet?’ Or ‘Don’t you have kids’ or ‘Why didn’t you buy a house?’ Or why don't you buy a car? For God’s sake it isn’t your problem;
5. Always open the door for the person coming behind you. It doesn’t matter if it is a guy or a girl, senior or junior.  You don’t grow small by treating someone well in public;
6. If you take a taxi with a friend and he/she pays now, try paying next time;
7. Respect different shades of opinions. Remember what's 6 to you will appear 9 to someone facing you. Besides, second opinion is good for an alternative;
8. Never interrupt people talking. Allow them to pour it out. As they say, hear them all and filter them all;
9. If you tease someone, and they don’t seem to enjoy it, stop it and never do it again. It encourages one to do more and it shows how appreciative you're;
10. Say “thank you” when someone is helping you.
11. Praise publicly. Criticize privately.
12. There’s almost never a reason to comment on someone’s weight. Just say, “You look fantastic.” If they want to talk about losing weight, they will;
13. When someone shows you a photo on their phone, don’t swipe left or right. You never know what’s next;
14. If a colleague tells you they have a doctors' appointment, don’t ask what it’s for, just say "I hope you’re okay". Don’t put them in the uncomfortable position of having to tell you their personal illness. If they want you to know, they'll do so without your inquisitiveness;
15. Treat the cleaner with the same respect as the CEO. Nobody is impressed at how rude you can treat someone below you but people will notice if you treat them with respect;
16. If a person is speaking directly to you, staring at your phone is rude;
17. Never give advice until you’re asked;
18. When meeting someone after a long time, unless they want to talk about it, don’t ask them their age and salary;
19. Mind your  business unless anything involves you directly - just stay out of it;
20. Remove your sunglasses if you are talking to anyone in the street. It is a sign of respect. Moreso, eye contact is as important as your speech; and
21. Never talk about your riches in the midst of the poor. Similarly, don't talk about your children in the midst of the barren...or talk about your spouses around those who don't have.
