Sending Announcements to Students in Moodle

The "Announcements" forum in each course can be used to send an email to all students who are registered for a class in Moodle.

Go to the Courses site and make sure you are logged in - click "Log in with SSO" in the top right corner if not.

Navigate to the relevant course - either using the list on the homepage, the search box, or from "My courses". Make sure you select the course for the current year.

Click "Announcements".

Click the "Add discussion topic" button.

Enter the Subject and Message.

In the "Group" dropdown, select the relevant class.

If the message is urgent, click "Advanced" then tick "Send forum post notifications with no editing-time delay" - otherwise the email notifications will be delayed by 15 minutes.

Click the "Post to forum" button to confirm and send the message.
