Sending an announcement to a specific section

Daniel.J.763

I know one can use the Email Classlist functionality to message specific sections in a course but this really pales in comparison to being able to have an announcement (which stays on the page and can be referenced henceforth) which is only visible by a single section. Notably, my TAs would like to have this functionality in order to communicate with their specific sections. I also made heavy use of this sort of functionality in the past when I was at institutions which used Canvas.

My specific questions are:

1) Am I mistaken and there is a way to do this? If so, I'd love if someone could walk me through the process.

2) If this isn't possible, could this perhaps be implemented as a feature in Brightspace? There's all sorts of core course information which should be available on a course website but which is only pertinent to some sections of a tutorial/recitation to a course so such a feature would be very widely used (and is widely used on other comparable LMSs).

In Announcements, you can choose to use release conditions, one of which is Enrolment in Section, that should do the trick. If in the Announcement creation page, scroll down to the section "Additional Release Conditions". Depending on the roles and permissions of the TA they might only see their sections.
