BB minimanual | using the textbox |



Add an announcement:

Click on Control Panel, Announcements, Add Item. You see the following screen.
Note that it needed two screen captures to show the four parts:
1. Announcement Information: The Subject is required. Click into the box and enter data.
The Message, in a so-called textbox, is not required. To learn how to enter one, click on using the textbox.
2. Options: not required; they are mostly self-explanatory. Do you want to add offline content? Select Yes only if you want to link to a CDROM which must be on the student's computer. Do you want to add Metadata? Select Yes and a Describe button will appear so you can add a description.
3. Course link: not required. You might try Browse and a trial and error or success test.
4. Submit: required to upload the announcement to your Bb course.
