A Class announcement is a short message shown on the Class's big-screen leaderboard — for example a deadline, a tip or a "well done" during a live training session. Announcements are not sent to learners by email and don't appear on their Class pages. Learners see the announcement only when you show or share the big-screen leaderboard with them.
Publish an announcement
Open the Class and click the Announcement icon (bullhorn) in the Class header.
Type your message in the text box.
Click Publish to leaderboard.
