This support page describes how to post an advert to the My notices block on your Myplace class page.
Step-by-step guide
You can post an advert in Myplace by going to the My notices block and select Post Notice. The block is available on your dashboard and from a course page.
In the Post Notice form, set the type to Advert .
Choose your target audience, as you would when posting a notice.
You might have the option to send a public advert (one which targets all users of Myplace). If you request a public advert it will be sent to a moderation queue before being published.
In alternative, you can target your audience by class by selecting Choose and selecting which class, programme or groups. The options available depend on the access level you currently hold.
Please define the start and the end date under Publication Dates.
In the Send Notice section you can define what you want your advert to contain. You can start by adding a subject, a title, and the text. A preview of your advert will be available as you fill in the form fields. Please refer to our Advert Style Guide to create your content.
The advert may be resized to fit appropriately, so please keep your text short and use plain language. You are limited to a maximum of 280 characters. Should you need to include a large amount of text, please consider placing this on a web page that is linked to the advert.
Continuing in the Send Notice section, you choose to add a link. This means that when clicked the advert will direct the Myplace user to a webpage.
You should always link your adverts to a “more information” web page. You cannot change a Myplace advert once posted, so having a linked page that you control will allow you to change the information made available to viewers as necessary.
Finally, choose an appropriate image for your advert and the Tint Colour which will allow you to choose a colour from the defined brand colours to decorate your advert with. Plesse see Advert Image Specification for help with choosing and editing an image.
Adverts will be displayed either on the public front page of Myplace (if it's a public advert) or in the Notices block of the relevant class. Consequently the size will be adjusted to suit the space. The advert image will focus around the centre of the image so please keep this in mind when posting your image.
