Managing announcements in your online learning platform helps keep everyone informed and up to date. These announcements are used to share important information like class changes, exam dates, deadlines, or system updates. When announcements are clear and well-organized, it’s easier for learners to understand what’s happening and what they need to do.

This further helps avoid confusion and keeps the learning process smooth. You can also mark unread messages, sort announcements by topic, and see past updates in one place. Overall, managing announcements makes sure that all communication is easy to find and understand.

Note: On the web version, announcements can be accessed in the “Announcement” section. In the mobile app, they appear as alerts under the “Alerts” section.
