20-050 Email to Participants via Member Management
Good to know
Communication with Participants
The member management section offers you the opportunity to communicate via email with one or more course or group participants. The email is sent to the email address associated with the user account.
Students are automatically considered course participants as soon as they enroll in the course. For group participants, students are included when they register for the course through enrollment. As the course owner, you can manually enter and manage individuals directly in the member management section as course/group participants (see HelpCard 20-020 and 20-030).
For regularly sending emails to all course/group participants, the email component also provides a suitable alternative.
Here's how to proceed
➊ Click on "Member Management" at the top under Administration in your course.
- The member management section will open.
- Here you will find all course members consolidated under "All," regardless of their, or divided by under the tabs Owner, Supervisor, and Participant.
➋ Select the respective individuals in front of their usernames to whom you want to send an email, or click on "Select All" (at the bottom of the page) if you want to send an email to all members.
➌ Click on the "Email" button after you have selected the recipients.
- The email form will open.
➍ Enter a subject and message, and optionally add a file attachment.
- Emails sent from the Learning Management System are not stored there and will show the Learning Management System as the sender.
- Therefore, choose a clear subject that identifies the email as related to this course (e.g., Subject: Course Title) and check the box for "Copy to Sender" to be able to save the email in your inbox.
➎ Click on "Send."
- The email will be sent immediately.
