An Announcements forum displays in the course quick links of every main course page. Use the Announcements forum when you want to make an announcement to all people enrolled in the course.
The Announcements forum is useful for several reasons:
- Every enrolled person is automatically subscribed by forced subscription (so that they cannot unsubscribe), so you can be sure that your posts here will reach the whole class. Course notifications will be sent out to everyone enrolled in the course even while the course itself is unavailable to students.
- Only teachers and administrators may post to the Announcements forum, and only they can reply to posts, so it's unlikely to become cluttered with discussion.
- As with all Moodle forums, you can include attachments, images, video and other media in an Announcements forum post, so it is a very flexible tool for delivering news and information.
