Notifications Tutorial Video
Announcements
Announcements are displayed on most course home pages and under the announcements tab. These allow teachers to notify students about changes to the Canvas course as well as office hours, finals schedules, and other occurrences. Default notification preferences are such that you will get an email when a new announcement is made and those who have the Canvas app will get a push notification as well.
