Edhesion provides Calendar functionality based on aggregating data and events that have dates associated with them. No longer do you have to enter items into a particular calendar and then go about the perplexing task of getting it out of the calendar to use in other ways. In Edhesion, data is put in its logical location, and items that have calendar relevency such as lesson plans, meetings, etc. are aggregated into calendar views displaying the appropriate information relevant to the person viewing the information.
