There a few ways to send email to a course, here are two methods:
1) Send email through myGateway's Course Studio
To send email through myGateway, you have to go to your Course Leader
Activity Channel on the Faculty tab, click the link of the course you'd like
to send from, once at the course home page (in Course Studio) there should be a
link titled "Email" on the left hand menu. Click the link and it will display
the list of your students which you can select students to send the message to. Once student are selected, click
the "Email" button in the upper-right corner. A new browser window will open, allowing you to compose and send the email.
2) Send email through Faculty dashboard email link
From the Faculty dashboard, click on the Class List icon.
Once the roster of students displays, scroll to the bottom of the page and
you will see
a "Email class" link. Click that link, (if an email client is configured on
the computer) mygateway will open the email client and populate the To field
with the student emails.
NOTE: Students and Faculty using YAHOO emails will have issues sending emails. It is best to use your campus email to send messages. This can be done by setting your preferred email in MyGateway to your campus email. Here are the instructions on changing your preferred email address. Please encourage your students to use a different preferred email if they are using Yahoo.
Have a great semester!
