From within your course, click the Communicate tab. Locate the Course News and Events section and click the Announcements link. Any announcements you have created will be displayed on this page. To the left of each announcement you will see an Edit button and a Delete button. Click the Edit button. You can make any editorial changes to your text in the Announcement field and use the drop down boxes to change dates, the sequence or who may view the announcement.
Following are the options for Announcement Settings:
Announcement: Use this field to specify the text that should appear as the announcement. Notice the HTML editor link next to the Check Spelling link. When you are done authoring an announcement in the HTML editor, you will want to click Accept Changes at the bottom-left of the editor. Be sure to select the appropriate Format depending on what you entered.
Start Date/End Date: This setting specifies the date on and after which the item should be displayed. This can be useful if you want to enter items ahead of time, but you do not want them displayed until a specific date. The Start Date also determines the order in which items appear. The End Date setting specifies the date on which the item should no longer be displayed.
Sequence: This setting can be used to explicitly specify the order in which items with the same start date should be displayed.
User: You can direct your announcement to either Everyone or a single person using the drop down menu.
Be sure to click the Save button when you are done. Use the Exit Announcement Editor button to return to the Communicate page.
