Email activities

The MyLO email tool allows for private communication between students, and between individual students and teaching staff. It can complement the Discussions tool or be used for similar purposes, as group mailing is possible. For example, in addition to communicating to individual students, you can communicate to:

• Groups
• Project teams
• Students in specific locations
• Students studying in specific modes.

You can attach the full range of documents to an email – Word documents, PowerPoint files, images, etc.
