Course Email

Course Email is a default activity included with every course. It enables participants to send and receive messages within the course. Some instructors prefer to use this activity rather than having email sent directly to their email account, as that can be more difficult to manage. All messages are preserved within the course itself for the purposes of archiving and organization.

This activity includes an Email notification option, which when enabled, will send a notification email anytime a new message is received within the course. The notification emails are sent to the email address specified in the participants' user profile.

The Course Email activity allows you to select multiple recipients, create HTML formatted messages, and include a single file attachment. To attach multiple files, participants need to zip their files together.

Only one instance of the Course Email activity can be added to each course.

1. Open Course Email.
