Announcements are one-way communications with students in your course. Announcements appear on the course home page. When you post an announcement, students are notified at their college email address unless they have changed their default notification settings.
Getting Started with Announcements in Brightspace
You can easily access Announcements from the homepage of your course. Click on the small down-arrow next to “Announcements” in order to:
- Access the Accouncements tool (where you can edit, delete and manage your announcments)
- Create a new announcement
- Reorder announcements
- Customize announcement notifications
Managing Migrated Announcements
All of your Blackboard Announcements will be copied into your Brightspace course. To edit them or add new announcements, go to Course Admin in the Course Navigation Bar, and click “Announcements.”
Click the drop-down menu to the right of the announcement on the list to delete, edit or hide announcements from students.
Select “More Options” to reorder or customize notifications.
For further guidance on using Announcements see D2L Brightspace documentation.
