Reset The Number Of Announcements Items
If adding the Latest announcements items block to your course area has not re-instated your announcements forum, with turn editing on go to the Settings tab at the top.
Scroll down to the Appearance section and ensure that the number of announcements items is set to a number greater than 0. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Save changes.
Your announcements forum should now have been re-instated in your course area.
We recommend that you rename the forum to Module announcements. Students will be used to this terminology being used across QMplus.
