How do you create an announcement?
In this article you will learn how to create an announcement and have it emailed and posted on the learner dashboard.
Announcements are small nuggets of useful information to be displayed on the learner’s dashboard. They could announce a new course, provide a tip, and alert teachers of a new policy.
We HIGHLY recommend sending all professional development information through MobileMind Announcements. By doing so, your learners will not have to go searching for that email that was sent months ago with directions for completing any professional development. It will be right on their dashboard!
