Notify students
Goals:
This guide describes different variations to notify students of a course.
Difficulty: easy
Valid from Moodle version 4.2
Tab "Participants"
- Click on the "Participants" tab. In the list of participants that appears, tick all the participants to whom you want to send the message.
Note: You can select all the participants in the list at once by ticking the upper checkbox. - Select the "Send a message" option at the bottom of the drop-down menu. A field for entering the message will appear.
- Once you have entered the message in the text field, click the "Send message to 'X' people" button.
A copy of the message will be placed in the "Messages" section of your profile. Click on your profile in the upper right corner and select "Messages". Alternatively you can klick on the speech bubble next to your profile picture. There you will find all sent messages under the "Private" section.
Group messaging
You can send a message to a defined group of a course. To do this, you must first define a group in the course. In order to send a message to a group, the teacher who is writing the message must also be a member of the group.
- Click on the tab "Participants" in the course.
- In the drop-down menu select the entry "Groups
Click on the button "Create group". - Enter a group name, select "Yes" for the group messages entry and click "Save changes".
- To add participants to this group click on "Add/Remove users" and select the desired people (several with the Ctrl key pressed at the same time) and click on "Add". Do not forget to add yourself as well.
Your group is now defined. You can send a message to this group by clicking on "Messages" in the upper right corner of your profile or by clicking on the speech bubble icon to the left. Under the section "Group" you can compose a message.
Note: Group messaging is clearer than many individual messages in the "Private" section.
Announcement forum
Another option is to write the message via the announcement forum. The advantage with this variant is that the messages are saved directly in the course. Of course, only a certain group can be notified here as well. Please follow the guide Use forum.
