Course Announcements let course creators post updates with rich content directly inside Courses, while learners receive them through a dedicated announcements experience — with optional email notifications. It gives you a central place to communicate launches, new lessons, reminders, and important notices, and reaches learners right where they already study.

What are Course Announcements

Course Announcements are updates you publish from the Courses admin that appear inside your learners' course experience. Each announcement supports:

Rich content — formatted text, images, and links.
Flexible targeting — send to learners of a specific course or across all courses.
Optional email notifications — also deliver the announcement to course members via email.
A dedicated learner experience — an announcement banner, an unread indicator in the top bar, an announcements list, and an announcement detail page.

Key benefits of Course Announcements

Keep learners informed: Share updates without relying on external email blasts alone.
One central place: Post launches, new lessons, reminders, and important notices where learners already study.
Higher engagement: Announcements show up in-app, so more learners actually see them.
Full admin workflow: Create, edit, clone, and delete announcements — with a clean read experience for learners.

How learners experience announcements

An unread indicator and announcement icon in the top bar.
An announcements list showing all updates for their courses.
