6.53. Activity Feed
Activity Feed
Use Activity Feed to create a central place for users to engage and stay up-to-date on what's happening in a course. This is similar to posting course announcements, but Activity Feed is more like a social media feed where the instructor can share information and students can comment as well. This creates a conversation opportunity instead of just a static message to the group.
Create a Message
Choose Message to open the Create a Message window. Add message text and/or an attachment if needed. The feed can be posted immediately or choose a release date.
Also note, the attachment icon actually expands the attachment choices that include File Upload, attach an Existing Link, attach a Web Link, or attach Video from the Web.
Use the Allow Comments check box if you want students to comment on your post.
Create an Assignment
Assignments can be created in the tool, or an existing assignment may be utilized. Starting from scratch provide the following:
- Assignment Name
- Instructions
- Due Date
- Add to Grades
- Submission Type
- Allow Comments
- Add an attachment
The feed can be posted immediately or choose a release date.
Date and Time may be selected for Post Later.
