Enable students in a class/community to send e-mail from My Space

  • The default setting for sending e-mailf from classes and communities is set to administrators only.
  • It may be necessary for an administrator to enable students to send e-mails from My Space. For instance if a group of students are working together on an assignment and have their own subgroup in a class.
  • Go to the Admin page, under Group Administration
  • Change Bulk Mail Policy by selecting "All members"
  • All members, including the students can now send e-mails from My Space to the members of the class/ subgroup.
