Would you like to personalise your announcements on Brightspace for your students? You can do this by using replace strings. These are functions that are automatically replaced with their corresponding value. For example, you can personalise an announcement by typing 'FirstName' between curly braces: {FirstName}. Each student will then see their own name.
Want to learn more about replace strings and where you can use them? Check out the screensteps |
