Moodle Message Function via the Participants list

 

Mainly affects: Lecturers/Convenors

 

Currently, there is a known issue in the Moodle Message function accessed via the Participants page. When sending out messages via the Participants page, the message may not reach all students if students have "Prevent non-contacts from messaging me" enabled in their Message Preference.

LSSG's recommendation is to use the Forums in courses for announcements and communication with the students, as this will leave a track record within the course.

 

The Message function should be used as a secondary option for just-in-time communication with the students. Adding a notice to the course page would be another option, however, this notice may not leave a track record in the course as this notice might be removed as the lecturer updates the course.
