Canvas features a tool in the Course Navigation Menu called “Announcements.”

This feature can be used in various ways to encourage, remind, and give insight to your students in an online classroom. However, if used ineffectively, it can become a diluted communication strategy. Let’s talk about some parameters that can be implemented to help your Announcements pave the way for students to feel the instructor's presence and heighten student engagement while building rapport with students.

 

View the following How-to-Videos to set up Announcements in your Canvas Course.
