公告
公告can encompass any important information you want to share with the class (e.g., grade releases, assignment updates, changes to the schedule).
General Tips
- Use announcements consistently with students to establish and maintain an online presence, especially in fully online courses.
- If you plan to use announcements as weekly check-ins, share them at the same time each week, so students learn when to expect them and pay attention.
- Help keep students on track by linking directly to any assignments or materials mentioned in the announcements.
- Include audio or video clips featuring you or your teaching team when appropriate, to make announcements more engaging and bolster the sense of instructor presence in the course.
