Hi everyone,
I'm trying to achieve an objective of viewing Course-level announcement (not site-level announcement) on the Dashboard.
Basically I'm using Moodle to serve multiple courses. Each student may enrol a few courses, 1-3 in general. Teach may post their announcement inside their courses. As an administrator, I'm trying to see if it's possible to allow my users to view these announcements at first sight. Therefore the first thing I could think of is the dashboard. I notice that I could add a block of announcement inside the dashboard. However, that's a site-level announcement. Teacher does not (and should not) have access to post anything on the site level. Does anyone have an idea how I could achieve this?
Thank you very much in advance!
Hello,
How about enabling RSS feeds for the site and also in the Forum settings, then add a Remote RSS feeds block to the Dashboard.
Thanks very much, though it has to register the remote RSS manually, the approach works as expected.
Further on this, do you know if it's possible to register these course-level announcement automatically to one's dashboard during their enrolment, so to achieve the goal of displaying the corresponding course-level announcement (for those courses a student enrolled, instead of site-level announcement)?

As you say, you do need to set up the RSS feed manually. Sorry I don't know of a way to provide course announcements automatically on the Dashboard, though it sounds like a good idea.
It would be great if this could become an enhancement. As a teacher we usually need to make class announcement and it would be great if this could be viewable at the first sight after login. I know site announcement did something similar but during a normal class operation, if we need to achieve this goal, we need to bother the site administrator instead of we could do this ourselves.
