Can students see announcements before the course beginning date? I want to send a "Welcome" note.
@ral10 The course needs to be open (within the course dates) as well as published. We have a lot of faculty that miss the publishing part or do it immediately after the sending of the announcement which will not work. The announcement will be there when they do get access to the course but they will not get any notification of, such as the email, until the course is active.
Hope this helps!

However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
