Make Course Announcements
Created On September 01, 2023
Last Updated On September 01, 2023
The "Announcements" forum (formerly known as the "News" forum) is a special forum for general course announcements. A course may only have one announcements forum. Only teachers in the course may post to the forum.
How students are notified about your announcement may vary depending on your Moodle set-up. Students might be alerted by your post by an unread post notice on the announcements forum or in the latest news block (if added to your course). Announcements are also automatically emailed to students.
