Creating an Announcement

Home » Communication » Announcements » Creating an Announcement

To create a new Announcement:

  1. Click on New Announcement.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
  2. Add A Headline and Content.
    If you want to add the student’s first name on the content, you can add the tag {Firstname}. Students will see their first name on the announcement.
  3. To set up the expiry dates for the Announcement, Set a Start date and Time and a End date and Time to specify the duration of visibility of the Announcements.
  4. If you want to have Start date,  check the box Always show Start date.
  5. Please make sure you always have an End date. To set an end date, check the box Remove Announcement based on the end date. P.S: If there is no end date specified, the announcement will be visible to the students until the end of the semester. Also, if you are planning to use the announcement in the future courses, to avoid all the Announcement to be visible as you copy the course over, setting an End date will be more helpful.
  6. Then click Publish.
