Calendar+Research

BCcampus Edtech Online Community, BCcampus Expo Community (possibly also BCEdOnline, LearningTimes)

 * All of which use Learning Times**

__As producer of data__
 * password protected
 * RSS feeds are for the entire community, but Calendar items are identifiable, so perhaps could be filtered out
 * cf http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=8KmucyEW3RGT_OEU8jxBKg&_render=rss [|BCcampus Events RSS feed]
 * Master calendar page could be scraped - http://community.bccampus.ca/bccampus?login=1&uid=BD5E97E25984D360C4740CF90C02BB7D&cid=166201&go=1801971

__As Consumer of Data__
 * calendar is **NOT** iCal and does not appear to be able to subscribe to iCal feeds
 * site will syndicate RSS, so while you could display feed with Calendar data, it would not currently integrate with the sites own Calendar tool
 * cf. as feed2js embedded feed http://community.bccampus.ca/content/contributions?cid=166201&uid=8E6F5F2443BE14414EF89DA48E22A827&content=contribution&action=view&content_id=1804609&folder_id=1119649&sr=1
 * //**NOTE:**// this doesn't work. feed2js has not been upgraded recently to deal with Google feed formats.
 * 'Contribution' style pages will let you embed a Google calendar using the iFrame trick (even if the rich editor says it can't preview it)
 * cf. as javascript embedded calendar http://community.bccampus.ca/content/contributions?cid=166201&uid=BD5E97E25984D360C4740CF90C02BB7D&content=contribution&action=view&content_id=1803042&folder_id=1119649&sr=1

which uses Moodle
__As producer of data__
 * Moodle calendars since 1.8 will export data as iCalendar data or produce an iCal feed which can be subscribed to
 * //**NOTE:**// was unable to subscribe SCOPE calendar into Google calender, no clear error message

__As Consumer of Data__
 * Moodle does not current *import* or *subscribe* to iCal data
 * Moodle can syndicate RSS feeds

Where does the data need to come from
