Blackboard Announcements

On the Announcements page, select the Create Announcement button that appears as a plus sign to create a new announcement.  

Enter a title and message for the announcement. Use the options in the message editor to format text, embed multimedia, and attach files.

You can insert a video recording in your course announcements, view the Kaltura KB for steps and a video of the process.

You can also send an email copy to all course members, including yourself. Select Send an email copy to recipients. Recipients must have a valid email address in the system. Emails about announcements are always sent and aren't controlled by your institution’s global notification settings.

You can edit, copy, or delete any announcement in your course. On the Announcements page, open any announcement's More options menu.

• Select Edit to change the title or message. You can also edit the scheduled time to post and turn the time on and off.
• Select Delete to permanently remove an announcement from your course.
• Select Copy to make an exact copy of an existing announcement and update as needed.
