Announcements

The “Announcement” module adds a news and communication board to your course.

The announcements area allows the teacher or person managing the course to publish a communication for the students, sending a personal notification to each user’s e-mail box.

View and manage Announcements

All the course users with view permissions on the module can read announcements 

Students will be able to read and archive under the “history” tab, announcements they can see.

This is the full view for user roles with edit permission on the module (i.e., course administrators, teachers, tutors):
