What happened to the ability to email a copy of an Announcement?

0

There is an Email Override option when creating an Announcement but the function was disabled as it is linked to Notifications. Notifications was a feature that automatically sent email notifications to students for each Announcement (regardless of instructor prompt). We discovered that students were getting the emailed notifications of new Announcements even if their course sites are unavailable. Furthermore, students were able to click the link in the email to access the course site, even if the site was unavailable. Therefore, we had to disable the automatic notification emails of new Announcements, which in turn impacted the email option in Announcements. Therefore, the way to send an email of your Announcement is to use the Send Email feature (under Course Tools). You can copy the text of the Announcement and paste it into the text box to send a copy of your Announcement.
