Can the Announcements also be populated in the student email of the university . In another LMS I used, one has the option to send the Announcement as an email to the students' university email account
@PatriciaScherne ...
Every user in Canvas (instructors, students, etc.) has their own notification settings that can be configured in Canvas. For example, you and your students can go to the "Account" >> "Notifications" screen in Canvas, and here is where you and your students can configure whether or not you want to receive notifications via e-mail address when announcements are sent. This is an individual user setting, so you cannot configure this for your students. Students set these options on their own. (Some students may not want to get notified via e-mail about announcements while others may want to get notified about them. The first two Guides are for setting these notifications for all courses, and the second two Guides are for setting these kinds of notifications at the course level.
I hope this will help a bit. Let Community members know if you have any other questions about this...thanks!
Hi @PatriciaScherne,
In Canvas, unlike some other LMSes, each user has control of their notification preferences (what is sent to their email or other locations). By default, email notifications about announcements will go to student emails, but each student can turn that on or off as they desire. There is no way for a teacher to override student notification preferences.

We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
