With the announcements tool, the lecturers can display current information to the students and draw their attention to it. The lecturer can for example remind a approaching deadline, point out new documents online, or communicate about an interesting conference.

• As a course manager (Profile ) you can :
  • Display a list of current information on the announcements page. Add, delete or change announcements at any time.
  • E-mail your announcements to all the users enrolled in the course page.
  • E-mail an announcement to a specific group of users.

• For a student, this could be a good reason to enrol in the course page even if the course page is publicly visible, and also to provide a valid e-mail address.

Note : lecturers who want to give instructions on scheduled events (e.g. individual lectures) should use The agenda tool.
