There are two ways for faculty and teams to send and read team messages.

  • Using the class discussion tool: All class websites come with a class discussions tool, which allows for team messaging.
  • Using the message center: All accounts come with its own message board. Recipients are categorized by types, such as: classes, teams, individuals, etc.
