Switch to audio description version

Transcript

Speaker: Marcus Porcaro

Okay, Element number Two is the 'Welcome announcement'. So to create a new announcement, in your navigation pane go to the 'Announcements' button and move over in the top right hand corner is the plus announcement. Click on the '+Announcement' and that will open up this editing screen. Here we can give it a title and we can add some descriptive text as well. Something personal but also descriptive about the course will be great in the 'Welcome announcement'.

So now that I've written all my text there what I'm going to do is scroll down and there's some options that we can choose. One that we might recommend to you is the delay posting option. So when you create an announcement it is created immediately however if you if you select the 'Delay posting' option that will allow the announcement to be delayed until it is sent to the students. So I can write all my announcements now and delay them until certain weeks during the course.

I click 'Delay posting', select a date – in this case I'm going to select week before class starts for me, click 'Done' and 'Save'. Here's my announcement, has my name attached to, it it's been delayed, all my information there and it's ready to go.

And that's Element number Two!
