In Scholar, a course announcement will appear in the My Announcements module of a start page and on the Announcements page. Some users choose to make that page the entry point for their course. There are two methods you can use to create an announcement for a course: Through the Qwickly module, or through the Course Tools for the individual course. Note: For either method, once the announcement is posted, it will pop up for viewing as soon as the student next accesses your course. 

Announcements via Qwickly:

To create an announcement for one or more classes at once, locate the Qwickly module. It will be nested under the Tools link on your sidebar, and labeled "Qwickly Course Tools".

Click Submit to post the Announcement to each course selected.

Creating Announcement from the Course:

To create an announcement for a specific course from within a course, enter the course. Select "Create Announcement" from the menu on the top of the course.
