Using the Message Center In Classrooms
Class messaging
Teachers and students can send messages to the entier class. Class messages are only available to teachers and students of that class.
Team messaging
Teachers and members of a team can send messages to the entire team.
Teacher-student messaging
Teachers can send messages directly to students from the gradebook, roster, or message center. Students can also send direct messages to their teachers through the message center. Teacher-student messages are confidential and cannot be accessed by others.
Messaging for coursework
Students and faculty of a class can engage in messaging specific to a coursework. To send a message for a coursework, open the coursework (faculty should open coursework in preview mode), and use the messaging section at the bottom of the coursework preview page. To read coursework messages, either open the coursework and view the bottom of the screen or go directly to inbox.
Messaging for grades
A single student and his/her teacher can engage in messaging specific to a grade. These messages remain confidential between the two parties.
