Tip

Instructors should have manually clicked Post button after creating an announcement. However, the most recent Ultra update allows instructors to post announcements as part of the drafting and editing processes. The process of creating and posting announcements became simpler. 

Posting Announcements After Saving As a Draft

Unless an announcement is scheduled or posted immediately, the announcement saved draft won’t be published to students until the instructor posts the announcement. Prior to posting the announcement, it will be saved as a Draft, and it. The draft will be visible only to the instructor.

  1. Complete steps 1-8 above.

  2. On the Course Announcements page, locate the announcement you want to post.
