To send an email to participants or tutors of a group, you can either use the internal email function of the learning platform, or use an external email program to send a message to the group email address.

Internal email function

The function for sending emails to individual or all participants or tutors of a group is available to group administrators in the group management.

To send an email to these users, first go to the group area in the course (1). Then switch to the group management by clicking on the corresponding icon (2). Select the group(s) whose participants/tutors you wish to send an email. Clicking on the email icon Icon_Brief.pngwill open the form to select the desired users and in the next step to enter the email text.

The Icon_Brief.pngemail function can also be accessed from the Manage members tab within the editing area of a group. It will become active for your member lists as soon as you have selected a participant by clicking the checkbox.
