The Announcement Editor is accessed either by selecting the Announcements link on the Communicate tab or the Edit button in the Course Announcements component on the Resources tab. Following is a description of each announcement setting.
Field Name | Definition |
Announcement | Use the Announcement field to specify the text that should appear as the announcement. |
Start Date | The Start Date 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. |
End Date | The End Date setting specifies the date on which the item should no longer be displayed as “present.” |
Sequence | The Sequence setting can be used to explicitly specify the order in which items with the same start date should be displayed. |
User | The User setting specifies the user or team to which the item applies. The Everyone option indicates the item applies to all users within the course. |
