Why is the calendar missing assignments?
Course assignments appear in the calendar once you've created assignments and enrolled a student. You can also show empty assignment cards.
How do I update the course schedule?
You can reschedule assignments directly from the Calendar page.
Or, to update the course structure, adjust the course plan and create assignments.
Remember:
- Plan your curriculum from the Plan page.
- Reschedule from the Calendar page.
How do I change a course's start date?
You have three options: (a) add a vacation (b) shift each course, or (c) unenroll and re-enroll.
If you only have a few courses to update, you can unenroll each student and enroll again on the correct date.
If you want to move the start dates for all your courses to a later date, the fastest way to do that is to add a vacation. That will shift everything forward.
Otherwise, your best bet is to reschedule each course. You can do that be rescheduling the first assignment in the course - be sure to select "shift following assignments". That will allow you to shift courses forwards or backwards one at a time.
How do I change the days of the week for a course?
From the student's info page, find the course in their Courses list. Click the overflow menu (the three dots) and then "Edit Schedule". See full instructions here.
How can I add, update, or cancel a subscription?

How do I track time spent on assignments?
Right now Syllabird doesn't directly track the minutes spent on each assignment, but it's a feature on our roadmap.
Can two teachers share students?
Right now it's not possible to share a student between multiple teachers without sharing the same login. This is a feature on our roadmap.
