Blackboard: How to Create an Announcement

• Click on the Announcements link in the Control Panel
• Click Add Announcement
• Enter a Subject for the announcement
• You can enter the announcement by either typing directly into the field or copy and paste text from another word processing document. Use the text formatting tools as needed.
• Options:
  • Select “Yes” to have the announcement always appear on the main announcements page.
  • If you leave this option at the default “No” the announcement will only appear on the main course announcement page for seven days. After the seventh day, students will have to click on the tabbed view options to see announcements posted in the past.
