Merge announcements

How do I merge announcements?

The function to merge announcements allows for a central course to push out announcements to other courses. For example, a Psychology Program could include several different courses or sections, but a single Psychology Program Master course or project site could be used to push announcements out to each individual Psychology Program course. Individual courses can create additional announcements that would apply to their specific course only, and they would also appear in addition to the announcements merged from the Master Course. Merged announcements that originate from the Master course cannot be edited or deleted in the individual courses.

  1. Go to the Announcements tool from the Tool Menu of your site.

    Go to the Announcements tool.

  2. Click Merge.

    Click Merge.

  3. Select the course to merge from.

    Check the box beside the course from which announcements will be pushed, and then click Save.

    Example: Merged Site Announcements

    Merged announcements show up in the PSYCHOL 1000 001 Announcements list, but there is no option to edit or delete here. Announcements can only be edited or deleted within their site of origin.
