The Upcoming Events block is an extension of the CALENDAR block. It gets event information from your calendar. By default, the Upcoming Events block displays 10 events; the maximum is 20. It looks ahead a default of 21 days; the maximum is 200. If there are more upcoming events than the maximum chosen for this block, the most distant events will not be shown.
This block is helpful for reminding students of the tasks they need to complete in the course.
