Announcements are a great way to ensure that students receive important information in a timely manner. The Announcements page is what students see first when they access a Blackboard course. Announcements can also be emailed to students when the Announcement is created.
Announcements can contain:
Text
Images
Video
Links to course content
Consider using Announcements to:
Welcome students at the beginning of the term
Remind students about important upcoming course activities
Inform students about changes in the course schedule such as a change in location
Let students know when grades and feedback on assignments are available
Weekly check-in Announcements can be a great way to keep everyone connected and on track regardless of course format. Consider creating video check-in Announcements, especially for online courses. This is an effective way to connect with students and to maintain your presence in a course.
