Course introduction

“

Hello, and welcome. In this course, you'll be introduced to Google Calendar. Google's scheduling service that's part of Google Workspace. During this course through a series of lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on activities, we hope that you will become more confident using Google Calendar. With Google Calendar, you can quickly schedule meetings and events, and get reminders about upcoming activities so you always know what's next. Google Calendar is designed for teams, so it's easy to share your schedule with others and create multiple calendars that you and your team can use together. We encourage you to be signed into Google Workspace throughout the course, not just for the activities. You can pause a video lecture or demonstration at any time, and explore and practice for yourself to ensure that you understand the topic being discussed. This course follows our fictional customer "On the Rise" as they embark on their Google workspace journey. At the end of the course, you'll use Google Calendar to solve a particular business challenge being faced by On the Rise. So let's take a look at the scenario we'll be using as you learn some key features of Google Calendar. Over the last three decades, On the Rise partner owners, Thomas Omar and Saroja Malone, have seen their company grow from a small family business to a global bakery chain. The days of casual on site family meetings are gone, replaced by those of a formal leadership team operating from many countries around the world. Each member of the team is full of great ideas and has the experience and expertise to implement them. Yet with so many differing individual priorities, Thomas wants to make sure he can narrow the projects down to the critical few and keep his team productive and focused on the bakery's overall strategic objectives. Thomas asked for your help. He wants to set up recurring leadership team meetings using Google Calendar. He also wants to create a common calendar, so he and other team members can track key dates for strategic On the Rise projects. Okay. Ready to get started? Great. Let's begin.
