After 8+ years as Canvas Admin for Western Washington University, I’ve introduced hundreds of faculty, most with little or no experience with Instructure’s LMS, to their online course. It’s impossible to help a newcomer become an expert in their Canvas course in a one-hour consult, but I’ve found ways to provide a solid overview of course components in that first visit which helps them get comfortable with developing their course content.
Continuing the Back to Basics series, with this one-take video, I wanted to share a couple of ways you can work with announcements in your course…perhaps there will be a tip you might not be aware of!
Do keep in mind - Instructure has fabulous online documentation about announcements for your reference:
What are announcements? - https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/What-are-Announcements/ta-p/39
How do I add an announcement in a course? - https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-an-announcement-in-a-course/ta-p/1194
Nice to have you on this journey as we revisit courses from a fresh perspective,
-Chris
