Announcements communicate important, time-sensitive information.

They can contain key information like introductions to the week, classroom changes, upcoming deadlines or useful events.

Where announcements appear

  • In the activity area in base navigation (the menu on the left side on desktop, three-line menu on mobile).
  • When you enter a module.
  • In the announcement tab in a module. You can sort, search and mark as read announcements here.

New university-level announcements appear on the:

  • login page
  • activity stream.

Instructors may also email you copies of announcements.
