How to Create and Send an Announcement from Blackboard

Review this page to learn how to create and send announcements to students in your courses. For online courses communication can be key to your students success. Make sure to have a communication plan in place previous to the semester start.

Announcement Tips

Remember to create an announcement the EDIT mode must be on, or lit up green. You find this button in the top right portion of the Blackboard interface. 

A good rule of thumb is to select "Send a copy of this announcement immediately" this sends the body of the annoucement to all student users email account so they can read it outside of logging into Blackboard.
