Schedule Weekly “Look Ahead” Announcements
Canvas announcements can do more than share news and updates. They can be used to serve as a weekly roadmap for student success. Consider scheduling a brief “Look Ahead” announcement each week that highlights upcoming assignments, key dates, learning objectives, and direct links to course materials. Students benefit from clear expectations and reminders that help them stay organized, while faculty can reduce repetitive emails and questions about what is due and where to find course resources. Best of all, these announcements can be reused and updated in future semesters, making them a high-impact, low-effort communication strategy.
