How to make, modify or remove announcements

To create new announcements or modify or remove existing ones, first go to the appropriate course. Then:

Go to the “Control Panel” which is in the lower section of the left-hand menu.
Under the "Course Tools" section, click on the "Announcements" link.

Any existing announcements will be listed on the page.
New Announcements
Click on the "Add Announcement" button to create a new announcement.
Enter a title for the announcement. This is required.
Enter some optional text for the body of the announcement.
Set whether the announcement is permanent or only displayed between two dates.
You can also set the announcement to link to a section (i.e. Course Documents), or a folder or item inside a section. This can be useful in many ways, for example you may announce a reminder about an upcoming assignment deadline, linking to the assignment schedule or assignment brief.
Click the "Submit" button, then press "OK". The announcement will now be published and you will be shown all the current announcements as with the end of step 2.
Modifying Announcements
From the "Announcements" page (see steps 1 & 2 if not already there), find the announcement you wish to change, then click the "Modify" button next to it.
Make the changes you need to, then click the "Submit" button, then "OK".
Removing Announcements
From the "Announcements" page (see steps 1 & 2 if not already there), find the announcement you wish to remove, then click the "Remove" button next to it.
A warning message will display. Click "OK" to remove the announcement.
