A Filter drop down menu appears defaulting to All My Courses.  Any course that the student joins will appear in the drop down menu. Assignments for all courses that the student is a part of will appear on the calendar if All My Courses is selected in the drop down.  If a student chooses an individual course from the drop down, only assignments for that course will appear on the calendar.

A Begin button allows the assignment to be launched from the calendar.  This will take the user immediately into the Module or Assessment that was referenced in that particular assignment.  This means that Assessments which normally require Assessment IDs and/or Passwords will have that step bypassed if a student accesses it through the Begin button in an assignment.
