# Announcements

The *Announcements* tool ![](/files/-MFUsyR9hqtRgnp2gVRC) 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.
