Can typing an "announcement" be turned off when the instructor is in "learner mode" ?
I've had the frustration of typing out an entire announcement while I was inadvertently in "learner mode" only to have the announcement vanish after I hit "publish" and an "Error" statement appears that I don't have the authority to post... It would be great if the "announcement" interface was not available when the…

Inquiry about Brightspace Widget for Displaying Announcements as a Slider or Carousel
I would like to inquire if there is a widget in Brightspace that has the ability to display announcements in thumbnail size and then slide to the next.
