Students can control how they receive information about course activity through their notification preferences. They can customize which actions in Brightspace will trigger a notification.
The Notification tool allows users to:
- Subscribe to a summary of activity for each course and receive a daily email.
- Specify your preferred email address and mobile number for instant notifications and announcements.
- Receive instant notifications about course activity, such as edited content, new discussion posts, assignments, grades, course announcements and upcoming quizzes.
Instructors can help their students to keep up with their coursework by encouraging them to setup their notification preferences. Additionally, there is a Getting Started for Learners Video Playlist that students should watch to get familiar with Brightspace.
Follow these steps to do it.
To customize notification preferences, users should:
- From your Personal Menu (located in the Minibar), select Notifications.
- Select the email address and/or register the mobile phone number to which notifications will be sent.
- Select the course activities for which you would like to receive notifications.
- Click the Save button at the bottom of the screen.
