Sending Announcements
Sending Announcements
In most courses, you start on the Announcements page as soon as you open the course. Students can always see the announcements listed on that page, unless you took steps to limit individual announcements to specific date ranges. You can also get to the announcements page by clicking on Course Tools in the Course Management Menu, then clicking on Announcements.
To Create a new announcement, go to the Announcements page and click on Create Announcement.
In the box labeled "Subject," type in a subject for the announcement. In the box labeled "Message," use the Text Editor to create your message with text and/or images.
A little further down the screen there is a check box labeled "Email Announcement." If you check that box, the announcement will be sent to all students as soon as you click the Submit button. Students will also be able to see the announcement on the Announcements page. If you leave the "Email Announcement" box unchecked, students will be able to see the announcement on the Announcements page but won't receive an email copy.
Always remember to click the Submit button at the lower right of the screen, when you are finished.
