This can be posted as an announcement inside eClass inviting students to book appointments. Access the created calendar event, click Go to appointment page for this calendar, then copy the appointment page link/URL from your browser. Once the appointment block is created, students can be invited to reserve a slot by providing the link to the appointments page. Students can then book one of the 30-minute slots within that time that works best for them. For example, instructors could set aside 2 hours on Tuesday and Thursday and make themselves available to meet with students in 30-minute slots. Each appointment will contain a Meet video conferencing link to act as digital office hours. Instructors can create a block of appointments in Google Calendar each week then invite students to reserve a time during those hours. The process involves creating calendar appointment blocks that allow students to select to join specific time slots to meet via video-conferencing.

This article describes how to set up digital office hours using Google Calendar and Meet.
