As a follow-up to my last Blog post in which I considered and questioned using the Discussion area to reach my students with important Course Reminders...I have tried something!
This morning I created a new Forum called "Alerts! I placed it at the top of the Discussion area.
Then, under "Alerts!" I created a New Topic called "Current Reminders".
In that message area I put very short and succinct reminders just in case they are not visiting News or reading Emails.
One of these reminders encourages students to visit Home Page "News" with each course log on.
Another provides the link to D2L Setting Tips I wrote for Emails and Discussions.
I have not allowed for replies. I am keeping this area at the top for reminders only.
I will be creating a Q and A Forum which I will place toward the bottom.
This new forum did push my current Unit Discussion Topic down just a tad but I can live with it because the Alerts are brief.
I hope this will work well and help my students.
