Pinned at the top of every student's portal. Delivered even during outages.
Announcements that actually land — not one more WhatsApp group blue-tick. Lecturers post once; the portal makes sure the right cohort sees it the next time they open their phone.
Announcements that arrive, read, and are logged.
One post, the right cohort
A lecturer tags an announcement with subject + cohort. It lands at the top of each student's subject page, in their reminders feed, and optionally via WhatsApp — no copy-pasting across five groups.
Pre-scheduled for load-shedding
Announcements can be scheduled. During a stage-4 outage, the portal fires the message the moment a student's device reconnects — not lost in the dark.
Read-receipt you can actually read
Every announcement shows which students have opened it. 'Midterm moved to Friday' with 312/318 opens is proof you sent it. The six outstanding get a targeted nudge.
Campus-wide or HoD-level
Principal-level broadcasts sit above lecturer announcements with a distinct style. No confusion about what came from whom — especially at audit.
“The test of an announcement is not whether it was sent. It is whether it was read before the class it was about.”
