When to Use?
Instructors have not had the ability to reschedule announcements. If the show on and hide after date had passed, a pop-up window would not generate again for students. Instructors prefer a pop-up window because it helps students see the announcement. If there is no pop-up, a student may not know there is an announcement for them to view.
Instructors can reschedule announcements without having to recreate them. They can do this by changing the Show On and Hide After fields to a future date. When students first enter a course, the rescheduled announcement will trigger another pop-up.
Procedure
- In your Ultra course, click Announcements found under the Details & Actions menu.
- Click the 3-dots to the right of the Announcement you want to reschedule. Click Edit.
3. You can now make changes to the announcement message if necessary. Under Schedule Announcement, update the date/time settings to when you would like to show the announcement to students again. Click Save.
