Each participant enrolled in a course will
receive their own Email account. The Email account allows you
to:
compose emails
build your own address book
use folders for organization and to store email
The email tool is easy to use, and you will find that is it
similar to popular email programs like Hotmail.
Once you log into your course, you will
notice a box called "Updates". If you have a new email it will be displayed
here. You can access the email tool by clicking on the Email notifier on your
homepage or by clicking on the link on the top left-hand side of the screen.
You can access email from anywhere in the course.
Inbox
Your inbox allows you to see both old and new
messages that have been sent to you. When you receive a new email, it will be
highlighted in your inbox. You can move, sort, or delete messages from your
inbox.
Compose
Click on this button when you want to send a
message. In order to compose a letter, you simply need to fill out the
recipient’s address (or select it from the address book) and type a message.
You have the option of sending a carbon copy (cc) to other participants as
well. If you do not finish your letter and wish to complete it at a later
date, you can save the draft that you’re working on.
To add attachments, browse to the file,
select it, then click Attach File. You can add multiple attachments this way.
Folders
This tool is used to help sort and store your
messages.
Address Book
This is where you are able to store all of
your contact’s names and email addresses.
