  • Web notifications will display as a number on  a bell next to your name in Moodle
  • Mobile notifications will only show on the Mobile app and must be accessed there

Alternately, you may disable some notifications by clicking the checkbox next to Disable all notifications.

However, please note that some notifications are locked to "on" and cannot be changed by this action. For instance, you will still continue to get emails from Announcements forums, as these are a key communication tool for instructors.

Any changes made on this page are saved automatically, so you can click My Courses to return to your courses page.
