KB image.png

You can use the Gradebook to send messages to your students. This lesson explains how to use the Message Students Who from the Gradebook option.

You can also message students individually by clicking on their context card in the Gradebook.

You can filter students based on specific assignment categories:

  • Have submitted: Students who submitted the assignment.

  • Have not yet submitted: Students who haven't submitted the assignment.

  • Have not been graded: Students whose assignments haven't been graded yet.

  • Scored less than [point value]: Students who scored below a certain number of points.

  • Scored more than [point value]: Students who scored above a certain number of points.

  • Reassigned: Students who submitted an assignment that you have reassigned to them.

Even if you send one message to multiple students, each will receive their own individual message.

On your course navigation, click the Grades option.
