Course Announcements post timely information critical to course success. The Instructor can add, modify, and remove announcements from the Announcements page. This is an ideal place to post time-sensitive material such as:
· when assignments are due
· changes in the syllabus
· corrections/clarifications of materials
· exam schedules
When viewed through the course only Announcements for that particular course are visible. Announcements for the institution or other courses and organizations must be viewed through Announcements in the Tools box on a common area.
