Using Quickmail
Quickmail is a feature that allows instructors to quickly and easily email all students and instructors enrolled in a course. The email is generated inside the course; instructors can select to email everyone or pick-and-choose individuals to contact. Moodle will track email history for each course, so instructors have a record of when an email was sent for as long as the course exists on Moodle. Any replies to an email sent via Quickmail are automatically directed to the instructor's Nazareth University email account.
