Staff guide for Programme Leads: Use the Course Announcements tool to check the announcements of any module in the programme you oversee.
What is the Course Announcements tool
The Course Annoucements tool is an in-house tool that lets Programme Leads view annoucements of any Blackboard module included in their programme(s), without the need to be enrolled on a course.
Programme Lead and module data are taken from CRUMS (Worktribe) and updated daily.
Find Course Annoucements in the Tools section on the main Blackboard navigation menu.
