Events

On the left sidebar of your Creator Dashboard, you can find a link to Create Events (Notification > Events).

An event is a notice that will appear for your students at the top of their courses page. For example, you can use events to post notices of new courses/lessons that you've added, to link to a live webinar, or to announce details for in-person training or events. 

Every event has a start date and end date.

Create an announcement from the left side menu of your creator dashboard.

The event will only be visible on the courses page during the period between its start and end date. The event type option simply displays a different icon for your announcement (Calendar icon for Date/Event, Exclamation icon for Notice, and Star icon for Celebration).

How an announcement appears to students on their courses page when they log in.

You can choose to use an optional link button to redirect your students to an external link (as in the picture above), or not show a button at all.

You can also choose to send an event as an email to all of your students. To do this, select "Send as Email" at the bottom of the page.
