Announcement Management module is a part of Learning Management System (LMS) which is a system
specially designed to provide a comprehensive online learning environment. This module is a tool for teachers to
manage and publish announcements to their students.
There are two types of user in LMS, teacher and student. Once entered, the list of accessible classes will be
displayed. Teacher has to select the “Announcement Tab” which will navigate to the announcement main page. This
tab shows a list of all existing announcements categorized by class. Teacher can then choose to create new
announcement, view and edit existing announcement information, or delete announcement from the system.
To create new announcement, teacher must select a specific class that he/she wants to announce the message to
and then specify the content of the message to be sent along with its starting date and end date. Teacher can choose to
attach a file to the announcement if needed. By default, the system will automatically send Facebook and Twitter
notification to the social network page(s) of each student in the class upon the announcement creation. However,
teacher can select or deselect the type of notification (i.e. if teacher deselects Twitter, the system will send only
Facebook notification). The created announcement will appear in the announcement list under the selected class.
Teacher can also view information of the announcement in the list and download the attachment (if any).
He/she can also edit information of the announcement including its message content, attachment, start date, end date,
and also the selected class. Once any update has been made, the system will automatically send Facebook and Twitter
notification to the social network page(s) of each student in the class to inform about the change. However, teacher can
select or deselect the type of notification (i.e. if teacher deselects Twitter, the system will send only Facebook
notification). Moreover, teacher can also delete the existing announcement from the system.
On the other hand, student can only view the announcement on the class home page. He/she can select the
announcement from the list to view announcement information and download its attachment (if any).
