Messaging allows communication between people in your class. A group discussion is automatically created for your class, which includes every teacher and student added to the class. Students can message in smaller teacher created groups, but they cannot send private messages to each other. Private messages between you and the student are possible. You also have a noticeboard where you can pin the most relevant messages. You can communicate with the guardians in a joint conversation involving all the parents of the students in the class, as well as send private messages to the guardians.

Messaging view functions
The messaging view has following functions:
You can filter discussion by message content or learner name.
You can choose whether to message with learners or guardians.
Use this button to create a new discussion for you and the learners you have selected.
Here you see the messages pinned to the noticeboard. In the learner app, pinned messages appear under the Noticeboard heading.
Under the Group discussions heading, you'll find the automatically created class-wied discussion and the discussions you have created.
Under the Private discussions heading, you find discussions between you and individual learners.
From this drop-down menu, you can see with who you're chatting with.
The search box allows you to search for messages by keyword or sender's name.
You can reply to a message by pressing the arrow symbol. The pin symbol indicates the message is pinned to the noticeboard. You can delete a message from the Trash can icon.
Use the green buttons to send an image, shoot a video, record audio, or send a pre-existing media file with your message.
Select this to pin your message to the noticeboard.
Creating your own discussion
After you press Add discussion, a window opens in which you can enter a name for the discussion and select the participating learners from the drop-down menu.
The discussions you create work in exactly the same way as in an automatically generated discussion.
Discussion freezing
Once a discussion is frozen, only you and other teachers can post messages to the discussion. If necessary, you can freeze the discussion from the snowflake icon at the top right of the discussion window. Press the snowflake button again to unfreeze.
