Tim Van Norman: To create an announcement in your course, you
click on announcements on the left. If you have never created
an announcement, you can go ahead and it says, create the
announcement above that is the plus announcement up here. Go
ahead and click on the plus announcement. And now you are
typing in an announcement. Unless you choose to delay
posting down here at the bottom and post at a particular date
and time, this announcement will go out the moment you hit save.
So be careful and understand what you're doing.
You can include in this announcement, links to other
parts of your course. So for instance, under course,
navigation, we have syllabus. So here, I can have it linked to
the syllabus actually go out to the students as part of this.
So here, I can also go to modules. And I can pick the week
one module there. So now, the students actually will have a
link to the syllabus and week one module directly in the
announcement. I'm not going to delay posting at this time, I
can allow users to comment, I can enable it as a podcast feed
or I can allow liking if I would like you can choose to add an
attachment if you would like something that you want to send
to them. Basically, this is going to go to your course, if
you have crosslisted your course you can send it to just one
section of the course. But for the most part, you're never
going to change the post to and you simply hit save. That is the
announcement that's gone out. And if you take a look, by
clicking on home here, you'll see that announcements now is
dark. If I look at the student view, and I refresh the student
view, two things have occurred. One, I now have the announcement
at the top. And this is because I went into settings for the
course under another video under settings at the bottom more
options. And I said show recent announcements on course homepage
for the last three announcements. So because I did
that, it now for the student will show that announcement at
the top of the page, the most recent three announcements. So
they see it there, they can go into announcements and they can
see the announcement and they also can go into their inbox and
actually it is not showing up in the inbox. So I am going to edit that out.
So that is those are two places where so those are two places
where the student can see the announcement. Thank you
