Announcements are a great way to communicate with your students. When you create an announcement it is delivered to all students within the course via three communication channels:
Within your MyClasses course
Via email to their SU or default email address
Via notification or text message on mobile devices when students use the Canvas Student app (and most students use this app)
If you have a combined course, by default, Canvas will send your announcement to all sections within your course. However, you can also choose to send announcements to specific course sections. Announcements will always live in the course, but users who have set their notification preferences to receive notifications for announcements will also receive an email and/or text message about the announcement as well.

However, this content will not be accessible to students if they receive an email or text notification; they will have to log into MyClasses to access the announcement to see the content.

You can choose to delay your posting by clicking the checkbox so that it posts at a scheduled date and time that you set. This allows you to set up reminders at the beginning of the semester that will post automatically throughout the semester.

You can also choose to allow users to leave comments on your announcement, restrict viewing comments unless they viewer has posted a comment of their own, enable a podcast feed, or allow liking for your announcement as desired. You can click the checkbox to enable any of these features as desired.

Once you have finished creating your announcement, press Save and it will post to all chosen recipients immediately or during the scheduled sate and time set if you delayed the posting.
