Blackboard: Announcements
Is anyone else getting fed up with this message yet? It is so simple to avoid – just remember to select either the ‘Not date restricted’ or ‘Date restricted’ option before trying to submit the announcement!
I’m sure the old Blackboard (9.0) one of these options selected for you, making it really quick & easy to publish your announcement, but this is not the case in 9.1. I know I’m being lazy but it is little things like this that frustrate me when using Blackboard, and makes it hard to ‘sell’ the upgrade to staff when they too are annoyed and frustrated at little (and, in their mind, unnecessary) changes.
Sorry, moan over!
What I’d like to see is some evidence regarding the effectiveness of announcements within the Blackboard platform. I’ve never been convinced.
Hi Alan – with the ability to email Announcements returned to Bb they may be more effective, or are they just a way to archive notices for future referral?
All the best, David
