Sending Messages to Students via Moodle

Instructors can send a group message to students via the Moodle messaging system. Messages will generate a notification in Moodle and an email that will go to students' SCC email accounts.

Most of the time, putting in an announcement should be sufficient for communicating with your class; however, if you wish to message only specific groups of students, sending a message may be your preferred method. Be aware that you will not receive a copy of the message, so if you prefer to have a copy, you will want to email students from your SCC email instead.

Step 1 Click on the Participants list at the top of your Moodle Course. image.png
Step 2 Click the checkbox next to the users that you want to message.  image%20%281%29.png
Step 3 Then, use the drop-down menu near the bottom of the page next to With selected users... to choose Send a message.   image%20%282%29.png
Step 4 In the resulting pop-up, type your message and click Send message to... people. image%20%283%29.png
