The utilization of the External Calendar API Endpoint follows the below process within CAE LearningSpace:

Once the feature is enabled in System manager, the LearningSpace calendar is exported to a JSON file which can then be "converted" to entries in external calendars (Outlook, Google Calendar etc.) or used for other aims (see further below).

The process is as follows: 

  1. JSON list is downloaded from LearningSpace, containing all events that are visible to an Administrator level user in the system.
  2. The external calendar (e.g. Google Calendar) should contain the same rooms as LearningSpace (e.g. sim room 1, 2, etc.).
  3. The software implemented by the clients' IT (by using https://…/w/api/v2/public_calendar.json) will "sync" this event list JSON to the affected rooms in the shared Google calendar (eg. to sim room 1) - updating it automatically, periodically (as described on the External Calendar API Endpoint page).
  4. Any employee of the institution can check events in the affected rooms of the external calendar (if shared with them), without having to use LearningSpace itself. 

Other ways of utilizing this tool are eg. sending the number of events per room to a display; getting information about the time of the next events titled "OSCE" etc.
