Hi
We briefly used the AOI Building Block called Events Manager. It was great
while it worked and some staff who spend a lot of time arranging
visits/placements, etc. were very enthusiastic. However, we ran into bug
problems and had to turn it off.
Another way you could do it - if you have access to the campus pack Course
Journal or the Teams Site - is for the member of staff to set up a page with
available times and then allow students to go in and add their names into
the appropriate slots.
