InfoSessions Time Zone

[kade-robertson]

Currently, the /resources/infosessions endpoint returns the day, the day of week, the start time and the end time of the info session. However, unlike some other sources, there is no time zone information included. This makes localization and time conversion a bit tricky when considering daylight savings and the like, so having a raw date-time string like what is provided with the GooseWatch endpoint among others would be useful. To avoid breaking backwards compatibility, two new entries called start_time_full and end_time_full (or something along those lines) could be added.

Thanks - I'll look into that and make the changes.

Great, thanks. Is it also possible to implement this for the /terms/{term}/examschedule endpoint? Specifically, the list containing each section for a class follows the same time format as /resources/infosessions does and likely could have the same solution applied.

@JoeRadman This would be easily fixed with #156

Closing as this is v2 related, and it's no longer available.
