The announcements area of the Canvas dashboard is seen by MJC students and faculty
each time they log into their courses. To prevent “announcement fatigue” and promote
positive attitudes toward entering online course shells, Marketing and Public Relations
will use the following guidelines in preparing and scheduling notifications on Canvas.
Announcements related to campus or community events will route through the MJC Marketing
& Public Relations. They will be created and approved by a representative of Marketing
& Public Relations, and routed to the Online Education Department for posting to Canvas.
Announcements will be limited to 75 words.
Announcements should include hyperlinks to additional information.
All announcements will include a relevant graphic prepared by Marketing & Public Relations
(no more than 1.25” height x 2” width) with an image and/or clear, large, legible
text.
Announcements related to campus or community events will be limited to two.
Announcements will run for no more than two consecutive days.
Announcements will be posted once. When time and posting schedule allows, announcements
can be reposted one additional time prior to the event date with no less than 2 weeks
between posts.
