About Sending Email

Instructors can send email to any course participant using this feature. Emails
can be sent to individual users or to groups of users within the course. Students
can also use this tool to send email to the class or to individuals in the class.
Each email can be sent out with one or many attachments and can be copied to
the instructors email address.

Note: There is no spelling checking tool with this feature
so you might want to compose your message in a word processing program.

My students say they are sending me email through Blackboard, but I am not receiving it - why?

All student and faculty email accounts are set up outside of Blackboard. Starting Fall 2003 email accounts at DU we be controlled by WebCentral (http://webcentral.du.edu). For more information about setting up your email account, click the following link.

Can students see other students' email addresses?

No, since Blackboard uses the Bcc: field to send messages, all actual addresses are surpressed.
