Names and email addresses are automatically filled in the BCC-field, to make sure that personal information is not shared with users of the Classlist.
It is important to realize that course users might not automatically receive an email when you post an announcement. This is a personal setting. It is set to ON by default, but each user/student can turn this off. If you have an important message you want to send to your students, you can do so by the below-explained steps.
Brightspace offers the possibility to email your entire classlist.
- Navigate to Course Tools in the navbar.
- Click on Classlist.
- Click on Email Classlist.
You can now select to which role you want to send the email (for example all students). Check the Role box and select the correct role. Skip this if you want to send the email to everyone.
Clicking on Send Email automatically opens a new Brightspace-window where you can write your message. Note: If you choose to send an email to All you will also send the mail to yourself. You can remove yourself from the BCC field.
You can also email a selection of users of your course. Select only those users you wish to email by checking the boxes in front of their name. Then click on Email.
A new screen opens where you can fill in the subject and email text. You can also add attachments. When you're done, click on Send.
Go to Course Tools > Groups
1. Select the category, if necessary. Then select the group(s) you wish to email by checking the box next to the name of the Group(s).
2. Click on Email. A new window will now open. In the new window, you can enter the subject and the email text. You can also add any attachments there. When you are ready, click Send.
