Start of Semester - Add a welcome announcement
Your new Blackboard module site will not feature any announcements by default.
It's a good idea to include a welcome message for the students coming to the site for the first time. However, make sure you set the announcement to expire within a week or two of the module's commencement, because as the semester goes on the welcome message will be taking up valuable announcement space for you to communicate with students, and will no longer be necessary.
