You can manage the notifications you receive for your course in several ways. Please note it is not possible to unsubscribe from course announcements as these contain important information about your course.
In this article, you will learn how to update your notification preferences, subscribe or unsubscribe from forums and manage the messaging feature.
Updating Notification Preferences:
Notification Preferences can be updated by going to the the user menu and selecting “Preferences”, then select "Notification preferences".
You can change your notifications settings including turning emails and web notifications off or on, by selecting the toggle for each option, or even disable all notifications.
Subscribe or unsubscribe to email notifications for forums:
In eConcordia Course Forums, you have the option to receive email notifications when a post or reply is made. You can receive these emails for all forum posts or you can opt to receive them just for some discussions, or not at all. When you make a post, you can select to subscribe to the forum.
To unsubscribe from an entire forum, follow the link in the email notification that you receive. It will direct you to the forum where you can confirm that you would like to unsubscribe, or select Unsubscribe from forum within the forum you wish to unsubscribe from.
To subscribe or unsubscribe from a particular discussion, simply go to the forum, and select to unsubscribe or subscribe next to the discussion you wish to update.
Managing who can message you through the course:
By default, your classmates enrolled in the same course can message you via the course. To change this:
- Select your profile menu from the top right of the screen, then select the Messages option from the menu.
- On the Messages page, select the Gear settings icon. In the Privacy section, select the option “My contacts only” to limit who can contact you via the course messaging. Only users you accept or add as contacts will be able to message you.
