The Quick mail block allows for easier communication between users enrolled in your course. It allows you to email your students with ease and confidentiality. You can either send emails to individual students, a group of students, or the entire class. This block is used to enhance the existing communication systems of messaging and subscribing to forums.
This is similar to the Messages feature in Moodle, but it is incorporated through your Outlook account. This means when you email your students it will be sent to their Cobleskill Outlook accounts from your Cobleskill Outlook account. This is an easier way of communication because a message will not go unnoticed.
Note: By default, BCC is the setting used when emailing more than one student.
