[ARCHIVED] Creating Announcements across multiple classes

[jeanderson3]

Hello all,

Very simply, is there a way to create a single Announcement and have it automatically sent to all my classes? I teach college level AutoCAD and Revit software classes, and often the announcement commentary applies to both classes identically. I'm looking for a way to write one Announcement, then select which classes receive this 'global' Announcement.

One example might be to announce that I will be arriving late or leaving early on a particular day. Another might be to announce new off-site learning opportunities that apply to all of my design students.

If the answer is 'no' or 'not yet' then I think I'll shift this over to a feature request. In my mind, it's basically the same functionality as modifying an Assignment to multiple people ('everyone' and an individual student), but I could be wrong.

Thanks for reading!

Jesse

I recently found this feature request already exists.

Kinda funny this is marked as solved when all I can find is people begging for this feature and a link to a vote from 2016 that has obviously been ignored.
