Tips

You can set a publication date for announcements so you can compose them in advance.

The email that students receive (if that is how they have their notifications set) with the announcement content will not include embedded pictures, videos, or display different text styles. Hyperlinks will still work. If they view the announcement within Canvas, they will see these embellishments.

Using Announcements

Announcements allow you to communicate with your students about course activities and post interesting course-related topics. Announcements are used to communicate with students about the logistics of your course. As soon an announcement is published Canvas takes care of notifying students according to their preferred Notification Preferences through school email, text message, Facebook or Twitter.

Use Announcements to:

Remind your students what they need to accomplish to stay on track.

Point students to internal and external resources that will help them achieve course Outcomes.

Leave a message for the entire class with video or audio comments.

Celebrate student success and important events that may be of interest to your students.

Use a custom RSS feed related to the topic of the course to send articles to your students.

Automatically share blog posts written by your students on Wordpress, Blogger, etc. with custom RSS feeds.
