Has not worked for over a year. This extension was last updated May 5, 2021. It is clear support for this extension is non-existent. Unfortunately, you will have to find another way to manage assignments and classes. For now I use the Pulse app for Brightspace/D2L and google Calendar. I am also trying out Rainlendar, a desktop calendar widget. I like that it shows you what is due in a pop-up everytime you turn on your computer.
