Bookings
Microsoft Bookings is an appointment scheduling program that includes a web-based booking calendar and integrates with Outlook. Users create a basic profile, set up hours of availability, publish a Bookings page online, and share the page with whomever they'd like to be able to book appointments. The published calendar can be accessed from the web-based app or the mobile app. Faculty can even embed the Bookings link in the Brightspace course.
Uses for Bookings includes:
- Faculty offering virtual office hours
- Academic advisors accepting appointments
- Administrative office offering virtual appointments
