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.

I haven't been able to find any solutions that currently work. Respondus has been suggested but my college does not have that available in Canvas. I've printed one exam from Canvas as a pdf but that isn't the best solution. I found a 30-day trial I could use but before doing that I wanted to ask if anyone else has tried…
I teach a music history class that heavily uses embedded audio. I'd like to be able to keep the time stamp active on the media player so that students can more easily follow along. It'd also be nice to just reduce the player to the controls and progress bar, but that's less important to me. Is there api access, or a…
Hi all, Faculty at our institution have asked whether a concluded course can be added back to the Dashboard after it has moved to Past Enrollments. What we've verified so far (admin, tested via Act as User on a faculty account): Active enrollments: the star in Courses > All Courses works normally — tooltip reads "Click to…
