Announcements
Announcements are a simple and effective way to contact your entire course through Canvas. Announcements display on most course home page options and under the announcements tab and are a good way to notify students of changes to a Canvas course as well as office hours, finals schedules, and other occurrences. Default notification preferences are such that students will get an email when a new announcement is made and those who have the Canvas app will get a push notification as well. A more detailed guide about creating announcements can be found here.
Emails

- In the inbox tab of your global navigation, select "Compose a New Message".
- Select the course you would like to email.
- Select the members of the course you want to email. If none are selected, the whole course will receive the email.
- Compose and send your message.
