Posting Announcements

The following tutorial will demonstrate how to post an announcement within your course. 

• NOTE: Students are unable to reply to course announcements. If you would like a response to a question in your announcement, please direct your students to respond in the Ask the Prof forum or the Community forum within your course. Students can post and reply to those ungraded forums.
  
  

Posting A New Announcement

2. On the new announcement page, enter your announcement subject (A), your announcement message text (B), any files you would like to attach (C)(optional), and select pinned (D)(optional) if you would like the post to stay on the top of your announcements page. When you are done, select Post to forum (E). 
   
   

   • NOTE: After posting your announcement, you may receive a message saying you only have one hour to edit your post. You can disregard this message because you can edit announcement posts anytime. 
     
     

Review/Edit/Delete Your Announcement
