Group and individual messaging

Our flexible message boards allow users to send a message to individual(s), group(s), classroom(s) or any combination of recipients.

Message deletion

Unlike ordinary message boards, users can delete a message from their inbox as they would using their emails. This capability allows users to keep the inbox clean which helps it to load faster.

Email notifications

Users can choose to receive email notifications of messages in which case a copy of all messages posted on the message board is send to them via email.

Automatic organization of messages into groups

All messages from all groups, classrooms, and individuals are accessible through the inbox. However, users can easily view a message for a certain group by selecting it from the left side menu of inbox.
