Brightspace: e-mail the whole class

Uncategorized, , , , , ,

So, in my last post, I showed how users can opt in and out of notifications.  In this post we get around students being able to opt out of announcement notifications and also help keep your course site a little cleaner.

As opposed to sending an Announcement, you can email the whole class by going to “Course Admin” in the NavBar -> Learner Management section and click on “Classlist”.

Then select from the top “Email Classlist”

Click on “Send Email”

and compose your email to the whole class here.  Click “Send”.

Turning Technologies, our polling/clicker system was purchased by Echo360, our capture system.

What we referred to as Turning Point or Turning Point Anywhere, has been rebranded PointSolutions.

In Brightspace in order to link the course to polling, the instructor will need to make a link available for the students  to be able to register their devices and/or licenses.  To create this link you will go to the Content Menu item, then click on “Existing Activities” -> “External Learning Tools” and select Turning Account Registration.

You may see some overlap between it being called Turning Something-or-other and Pointsolutions for some time, so I wanted you to be aware.
