Cardinal Learn Notification Settings
Cardinal Learn (Blackboard) notifications are set at the user level. Each individual user controls the notifications they receive for each course. Instructors are NOT able to turn off notifications for courses. Instructors can make the course unavailable to students as they add content, grades, assignments, etc. and no notifications be sent until the course is once again made available to students.
Overdue notifications are functioning as designed by Blackboard. Every user in a course with the "Assignment Due" and/or the "Assignment Past Due" notifications set to "ON" will receive an email notification. Notifications are not tied to submissions made in the system, thus they go to everyone regardless of submission status. Users can select which notifications to receive per course or as a bulk setting. Notification settings need to be updated when students are enrolled in new courses as the bulk setting applies only to existing course enrollments, not future. Future enrollments will default to all notifications being "ON" as per the system setting.
