Learn.UQ Basics Online Workshop

Announcements is an area in which you can post information for students in your course. All announcements sent are kept as a communication record in your course. You can include course links in your announcements that direct students to assessment items, resources, folders and tools.

You will also need a communication policy that clearly explains to students how you will communicate with them and that they are responsible for regularly checking for new announcements in their email or in the course.

For more information, refer to the Add an Announcement guide.
