20-050 Sending e-mails to Participants using Members management
Overview
Communication with Course members
The Members management offers the feature of sending e-mails to course or group members. The e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address linked to the user account. As a course owner, you can add users to your course directly, using the Members management (see HelpCard 20-010, HelpCard 20-020 and HelpCard 20-030).
The course element E-mail (see HelpCard 20-060) or the course tool E-mail (see HelpCard 10-100) are good alternatives, if you are sending emails to course/group members on a regular basis.
