MU Schedule is Everywhere!
Calendar
Thanks to the many realms wisdom of our own Chaplain Beedit, MU has a state-of-the-art scheduling system! You can see it on the Schedule Page of course, but it’s also found in lots of handy other spots, like here on MU/Talk, on MU/Creativity, and on the post sidebars at MU/Home. The schedule is also on 4 interactive kiosks on the Medici University campus.
Where?
You might know that our campus has 4 parcels and 4 arrival points:
• MU-Isabella, arrival: up top, at the 4-corners of LEA22-23-24-25
• MU-Eleonora, arrival: Avalon Planetarium
• MU-Dianora, arrival: Bacon Barista
• MU-Bia, arrival: KATYPERRYOPOLIS!
At each of these 4 arrival points is an interactive kiosk with a schedule of upcoming Classes, Events & Activities on the MU Campus!
You Can Schedule!
You don’t have to wait for The Chaplain or I to put things on the calendar! Just pass your email address to Chaplain Beedit, or Provost Izzy, and we’ll add you to the Calendar Peeps, and show you how easy it is to add stuff to the calendar. Your one calendar listing will appear automatically in all 8 of the above locations! 😀

Thank you so much for your organization, attention to detail, and monumental amount of care and thought regarding MU Izzy. I’m so glad we’re all here! Just to add something, the one thing I cannot do is add things to the Timely Calendar in the sidebar. WordPress users need special permission in order to do that. Until we have figured that out, I will continue to watch the schedule page and move things to this level, and help to promote things any way I can. Loves.

Actually, you do have the ability to add Calendar Items. What might be confusing you, or potentially others, is that our one big, messy website is technically 4 separate installations. This “technical” point doesn’t much matter, except that it is 4 different places to be logged in, if you want to post on all of them.
While the calendar items appear in all the places I described above, you can only post them from one place: “MU/Home”, aka
http://MediciUniversity.co.uk
There is no way to post from here at MU/Talk, or the other sections.
When you are logged-in at MU/Home, it’s easy to post a calendar event, you simply go NEW > EVENT, fill out the info, and click publish. The info will populate everywhere. Be sure to include a featured image.
The following “roles” all are able to create new calendar items, Administrator, Editor, Author, and Event Contributor.
From that same MU/Home menu shown above, you (as an “administrator”) can select NEW > USER and then set their role as Event Contributor if they’re only going to post events, or set their role as Author if they’d also like to write syllabi.

Ahh, it was the MU Home thing AND not using your correct email address. See, I’m a much better Chaplain than Administrator! Thank you again.

I used one of the kiosks at the arrival point to check a class time. It worked great. I’m going to check every time I arrive to just remind myself where and when things are going on.

Awesomesauce!
Our other idea was to tattoo the schedule onto avatar bodies! 😀
