Keeping learners informed just got easier! Course creators can now share important updates directly within their courses using Course Announcements.
What changed
Create & manage announcements - Create, edit, clone, and delete announcements directly from the Courses admin.
Rich content support - Add formatted text, images, and links to make announcements more engaging.
Flexible targeting - Share announcements with learners from specific courses or across all courses.
Optional email notifications - Send announcements directly to course members via email when needed.
In-app visibility - Learners can discover new announcements through banners and unread indicators.
Dedicated announcement experience - Learners can view all announcements and open individual updates without leaving their learning experience.
Why it matters
Course updates no longer need to rely solely on external email campaigns. Announcements give creators a central place to communicate launches, updates, reminders, and important notices while reaching learners where they're already studying.
This helps creators keep their audience informed and gives learners a simple way to stay up to date without disrupting their learning experience.
Getting started
- Navigate to Courses → Announcements.
- Click to create a new announcement.
- Add a title and rich content, then select the courses or learners you want to target.
- Enable email notifications if you'd also like course members to receive the announcement via email.
- Publish your announcement.
Once published, learners can discover new announcements through the announcement banner, unread indicator, announcements list, and announcement detail page.
