For posting mass message to all students, email notification of each post of "News and Announcements" will be sent to current course participants' college email addresses (both teachers and students). For each course, the "News and Announcements" will be created automatically by the system.

Note Only teachers can make/reply posts, but students CANNOT. To allow students making discussion, teachers might add a Discussion Forum Module.

 

Clicking the News and Announcements link on the Course Page to enter the News and Announcements Page.
