Discussions and announcements help you stay connected with your teacher and classmates within each course.
Before you begin: You need to be enrolled in a course. See Joining a Course.

​

Posting in a discussion

You can contribute to discussions in several ways:
  1. Go to the Discussions tab
  2. Tap New Discussion or the + button
  3. Enter a title and your message
  4. Tap Post
Write clear, descriptive titles so classmates can find your discussion easily (e.g., “Question about Chapter 3 — Quadratic Equations” instead of “Help please”).

​
Announcements

Announcements are one-way messages from your teacher to the entire class. They’re used for important updates, reminders, and information.

​

Announcements are posted by your teacher. Students cannot create announcements — use discussions for questions and conversations.

​
Staying notified

New discussions and announcements trigger notifications (if you have them enabled):
  • Push notifications alert you on your device
  • Activity feed shows the latest updates across all your courses
To manage your notification preferences, see Managing Your Profile.
Enable notifications for announcements so you never miss an important update from your teacher.
