Microbiology (C41105)
The Adobe Connect training course is entirely online. We wanted to inform all participants about an Adobe Connect event so that they could experience one before the course starts. Students (participants) were already enrolled.
We used the News Forum (often now called Announcements) via the Latest News block. We typed in a message which was sent by email to all students.
Students cannot turn off News Forum / Announcements
Users can edit their preferences in their profile settings to choose
Individual emails look like this:
The Digest looks like this:
If they are online it also arrives by email
If they are OFFLINE it goes into their Messages folder and arrives by email.
The 11 am Microbiology lecture was unavoidably cancelled at short notice and we needed to let students know as soon as possible.
One way to contact students was to use the News Forum / Announcements but students may not have got that message in time (if they are set to Digest)

We used three routes for delivering this message:
Moodle Help Guides
Webinar recording (Video)
