Creating Announcements in Your Course (2:38)

The Announcements tool is a way for the instructor to convey important information to the class. Your students can access your announcements in the modules on the Blackboard Home page or from within your course on the Announcements page. Recent announcements appear as links under the course title.

Instructors can also email announcements to the class. These emails will go to your students' @maine.edu Gmail account.
