Want to send an email to the entire class but not sure if everyone will read it? You can send an email to the entire class and post the message as an announcement at the same time. Students will be notified that there's an announcement to the right of the course title on their My Courses page when they sign in to CoursePlus. As soon as they enter the course, the announcement will be at the top of the course home page.
How to Display a Class Email as an Announcement on the Course Home Page
- Click Class Email under Communication Tools on the main Faculty Tools page.
- Select Everyone from the Send Message To field.
- Click the Select Listed checkbox.
- Select the Display as an announcement on course home page checkbox.
- Fill out the rest of the form and send or save a draft of the message.
An email can only be turned into an announcement if it is sent to everyone in the class.
