About announcements

Some courses or unit standards may have Announcements about changes to the course content or other important updates. If there are no Announcements visible, they may not have been enabled for that course.

Announcements are a tool that your assessor or training advisor may use to send out important information to you and other people enrolled on the same course. Your assessor can choose where you can view announcements. You may see recent Announcements on the Home Page of a course, or in a link in your Course Navigation where you can view all course announcements.

Viewing announcements from the home page

After opening a course from the Dashboard you are automatically taken to the course Home Page. If your assessor has enabled Announcements for your course Home Page a preview of recent announcement titles are listed at the top of the course Home Page. Announcements with a dot on the left side have not been read by you. Click on the announcement to view the full message.

Viewing announcements from course navigation

After opening a course from the Dashboard choose 'Announcements' (if available) from the Course Navigation. Here Announcements are also searchable and the newest Announcements are at the top of your screen. Select the Announcement to view the entire announcement.
