Create and manage course announcements

Publish important updates directly inside your courses so members see them without leaving the learning experience, and optionally notify course members by email. Announcements are created and managed under Portal and Groups > Courses > Announcements.

Create an announcement

Start from the Announcements page, add a title and rich content, choose the courses it targets, and publish. The course must exist before you announce updates to it; see Build a course if you need to create one first.

1. Go to Portal and Groups > Courses and open Announcements.

2. Click + New announcement.

3. Add a title and rich content. Rich content supports formatted text, images, and links.

4. Select the courses the announcement targets, or target all courses.

5. Enable email notifications if you want course members notified by email.

6. Publish the announcement.

Manage announcements

From the Announcements list you can view, edit, clone, or delete an announcement. The list shows each announcement's Title, Sent to, and Posted on, and you can filter by Date range or use Search.

How members see announcements

Members see new announcements through an announcement banner and an unread indicator. Announcements are also available from an announcements list, and members can open an announcement detail page without leaving the learning experience.
