This refers to Moodle 2.6 from September 2014 onwards

 How do you make sure you are receiving all the emails sent by staff on your modules through Moodle?

Emails are sent through Moodle in a variety of ways.

Announcements

Many lecturers send out messages to all students on a module via the Announcements Forum.

This will be delivered to your University inbox.  It may be as part of a once-a-day digest with the subject "moodle.Nottingham Forum Digest "  OR each message may be delivered separately: in this case the message will have the shortname of the module in its title.  You cannot unsubscribe from this forum.

You can also see these messages in the Announcements forum in your module and in the Latest News block.

It is important that you:

• Ensure you read any emails with the title moodle.Nottingham Forum Digest as this contains important messages from several modules.
• Ensure you look at your UNIVERSITY email address. Emails are sent only to the email address on your profile - normally the University one.

Moodle messaging

Moodle has an internal messaging system.  You will receive these as an email notification and possibly a pop-up depending on your settings.  The message will also be available through Messages in Moodle.

To access all your messages

1. Click on your name at the top right-hand corner of the screen
2. Select Messages
3. Any unread messages will be on the Messages landing page.  If you wish to see older messages or to send a message to another student use Message navigation to access your contacts and lists of participants on each of your modules.

To ensure you get the messages by email

You can change your settings to enable these to also come into your email inbox.

1. Go to My home
2. Go to the ADMINISTRATION block > My profile settings > Messaging
3. On the page "Configure notification methods for incoming messages"
   scroll down to Personal messages between users
4. Ensure all the boxes for 'When I'm logged in' and 'When I'm offline' are checked.

You will now receive emails that look like this (It may be difficult to tell which module they relate to as it comes directly from the member of staff). The subject line will be "New message from [Person's Name]"

Tutorial Bookings / Seminar signups

You may also be contacted by email directly from the tutor or staff member about a group you have signed up for. These emails come directly into your inbox individually.
