Hi everyone,

I'm not sure how to create this as petition of sorts to Canvas to have them include this feature. But anyways, I think it would be great if we were able to easily add our announcements to our modules. Right now, the online things available that we can quickly add are: discussions, assignments, text header, external links, quizzes, files, and a couple other things. But I noticed that we can't easily add announcements to our modules. I think this would be a great feature especially since as an online teacher, I usually make weekly and sometimes daily announcements to notify my students or remind them of assignments etc. Though we have an announcements page, how many students actually will look there? I have edited my homepage so that announcements appear at the top of the page, but I think it would be even better and more directive if I were able to add the announcement to the module so that way, I know my students can keep track of any updates or news.
