Title: Important: Change Your Notification Settings
Course: WILLIS MC - ITNW1313 > Section: Start Here

Customize your notifications preferences in a manner that best suits your needs. Canvas can send you notifications of just about any item in the course. Canvas can push to your email or phone every time an announcement is posted, an assignment uploaded, or file downloaded. Go through your Notifications Preferences and set each one to push to your contact methods in ways that are useful yet manageable. Ask questions for each item; for example, do you want to know every time a new post or reply is available, or do you check on a daily basis anyway? Would a daily reminder be helpful nonetheless?

It is strongly suggested in this course that you set notifications to push to your phone if that is where you do most of your communication. This will help you keep up with assignments and important information sent by the instructor.
