    Well, "anonymous" (in the message below about a cse tool) was a surprise.

    This isn't quite what you're asking for, but I've created an app that is reasonably widely used in CSE to generate course calendars that are easy for instructors to updates. The tool outputs both an HTML version of the calendar and .ics files, which students can subscribe to using, for instance, Google Calendar.

    It was written with the intention that it could be useful to other departments, and I've done some successful testing against curricula of other departments. It pulls lecture and section schedule information from SWS. It screen scrapes to get the final exam date.

    Documentation is at

    A live example is at

    Subscription information is via a link at the top.

    If you'd like a copy of the source (it's in perl), just contact me.
