In the past (more than a year ago) when I posted an Announcement in Canvas, it was also sent to students via email.That doesn't seem to be happening now, and I don't see any reference to this in my class settings.
Hi @ldixon,
Whether students receive an email notification about announcements or not is a preference each student can manage on their own. The default is that students would receive the notification emails. With the Discussions/Announcements redesign released earlier this year, I know there were some edge cases where notifications weren't sent (especially for announcements scheduled for the future), but I believe those have been resolved at this point. I'd first recommend having students check their spam email folder to make sure things aren't getting sent there. If the notifications still are not there, you could contact Canvas support to have them look into things further for you.
Hope this info helps!

We are testing a third party integration from our college's ERP provider. We have connected it to our test environment. It seems to have very few features and options.

To the Canvas Product Team, I am writing to request a new global or course-level setting for the Rich Content Editor (RCE). Currently, when images are uploaded or embedded, Canvas defaults to displaying the full image. For many lab-based and data-heavy courses—such as my current molecular biology lab course—we often need…
Our Spanish department uses New Quizzes/Essay question type for students to record themselves talking using the record media function in the RCE. They did this all last year. However, now when the students log in to take the quize, the upload/record media icon isn't available to them. Is this a new issues? Anyone have any…
I am trying to use Learning Outcomes for my course which has many sections each term. We currently have no institutional, school or program outcomes. I created a set of outcomes for Section 1 of my course. I then labelled every question in the item banks I was using in my first quiz (New Quiz) of the semester. I got a nice…
I have been experimenting with NotebookLM for some professional and hobby interests and have discovered incredible insights from querying sources with the Gemini chatbox interface. For our ID work in Canvas, we need an AI-powered dashboard similar to NotebookLM where IDs and Directors can query about their assigned courses…
