Messaging


Overview

In Moodle, you can send messages to other MC Moodle users (students and/or teachers) regardless of whether they are enrolled in your course(s).

When you receive a new message, a notification appears in the Message block, as shown below.

New Message Indicator

If your instructor has not added the Messages block to the course home page, then it should appear on the main Moodle page.

If you are not logged in to Moodle, then you can still receive new Moodle messages via e-mail. (For more information, see Messaging Settings.)
