The messaging tool is for sending instant messages and is separate from course email.


Note: It is recommended to communicate with your instructor via course email and not by instant messaging unless otherwise stated by the instructor.

Details


You can send a message to other students within the same course by doing the following:

  1. Check to see if the student is online by looking at the Online Users block (if available within your course)
  2. Click on Participants
  3. Click on the intended recipient’s name
  4. Click the Send message button
  5. Write your message and click Send. They may receive a notification email at their @uregina.ca email account (depending on their messaging notification preferences) but will otherwise only receive the message the next time they login.

To access your messages, click on the message icon next to your profile icon at the top right corner of the page. This will allow you to view any messages you have received.

To adjust your messaging and notification preferences, click the arrow beside your profile. Select the Preferences option in the dropdown menu, then in the User Account section select Message Preferences
