Faculty Can Automate Office Hours with Google

Google has rolled out a new calendar feature for faculty called “Appointment Slots.”

What does this mean for you? It means that you can define your office hours on your calendar as a recurring appointment, tell it what time increments you want to meet (i.e. 30 minutes), send the “share” link to your classes, and then students can book their own appointments. It’s a great way to empower your students and to plan ahead for your semester.

See the Google instruction page to get started.

In the near future, IT will incorporate this new feature into ACC’s training and online documentation.
