Announcements may include an introduction from the instructor, an upcoming schedule or list of due dates, a notice of any class cancellations, or anything else relevant to the course. New announcements will appear immediately when a student opens the course, and they need to be dismissed before you can proceed to the course content.
New announcements will appear immediately when a student opens the course and need to be dismissed before proceeding to the course content. Once they dismiss the announcement, it will not appear again.
If you want to review previous announcements, click the Announcements tab. Announcements can be marked as read or unread.
Active announcements also appear in the Today and Recent sections of the activity stream. Most announcements disappear from the activity stream when students view them within their courses. If an instructor schedules an announcement, it also appears in the activity stream at the scheduled time.
In the Details & Actions panel, students can select View archive to read past active announcements on the Course Content page. Students may also select the Search announcements icon and type keywords to locate a specific announcement.
