# Announcements

The *Announcements* tool ![](https://2324583860-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FlDtbPjZhax0iCyOmO06r%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-d8d7ec712a3c82d4c9c7a4fb277f44c1bebc3b86%2Fgraphics91.png?alt=media) lets you send a message by e-mail to your learners and/or publish a message directly to the course.

These announcements can be used, for example, to inform learners of the recent availability of a document, of the deadline for an assignment or any news or information related to the course.
