Announcements are a crucial and effective tool for sharing important information with your students. The Announcement feature enables instructors to communicate timely updates and messages directly to students, ensuring they receive the necessary information promptly.
Announcements can be used to:
- Broadcast Information: Send reminders to all students in the course, helping them stay on track with their tasks.
- Direct Students to Resources: Guide students to internal and external resources that support their achievement of course outcomes.
- Add a Human Touch: Include video or audio comments to make your announcements more personal.
- Celebrate Success: Acknowledge student achievements and highlight important events relevant to your students.
- Maintain a Communication Record: All course announcements are stored in the "Announcements" tab for easy reference.
- Delay Posting: Schedule announcements to be sent at the most effective time.
- Enable Interaction: Allow students to respond to and like announcements if you choose to activate this feature.
