Important steps
-
Open your course via Authoring.
-
Choose Administration and select Reminders. The Reminders tool opens.
- You can create new reminders in the Reminders tab.
- In the tab Sent reminder log you can see the reminders that have been sent - when and to whom. You can also choose to resend the reminder.
-
If you choose the Add reminder button in the Reminders tab, the reminder creation editor opens.
-
Write a description and choose the conditions for the reminder to be sent. Please note: Some of the conditions that have to be met are dependent on Course elements and can only work if the corresponding settings are configured and published in the course.
-
Add a unique subject reference so the students can identify the e-mail reminders as linked to your course and customize the e-mail content to the conditions you have chosen.

Save your changes at the bottom of the page. The editor will close automatically.
-
If you would like to edit, duplicate, delete or send the reminder manually, you can do this with the three dots menu to the right of the reminder.
