Quickmail
Quickmail is a third-party plugin that LITS has installed in Moodle to allow more reliable and flexible communication with students within a Moodle course. The Quickmail block is located in the Course Blocks drawer at the top right of any Moodle course. Quickmail allows instructors to email students directly from the Moodle course site. Messages are forwarded to students' campus email accounts and can include attachments. Messages may be sent to the entire class, particular students, or to groups if groups are established in the course. Copies of the messages are saved inside the Quickmail block under History. Replies are sent to the instructor's email address and not to Quickmail/Moodle.
