You can set this to send you an email when something changes in your Moodle courses, such as updating an activity or changing a grade. The good news is you have total control of\u00a0 your settings. You can choose to receive email, choose one of the other communication methods or even receive no notifications at all (not recommended).<\/p>\n

Notification settings<\/h2>\n

To configure notification methods for incoming messages go to: Moodle Homepage \u2013> Settings \u2013> My profile settings \u2013> Messaging<\/p>\n

Notification options<\/h2>\n

There are four options for receiving notifications in Moodle. You can choose to receive all four types of notifications or none at all. You can also select a different method if you are logged into Moodle. This would be useful when you are initially building a course. Leave all the boxes unchecked to receive no notifications for a category. The messaging preferences on your profile will adjust your personal messaging preferences in all your courses.<\/p>\n

Here are examples of each of the four types of notifications.<\/p>\n

1. Activity stream<\/h3>\n

The Activity stream is on the lower-left side of the screen. (You may need to add the Activity stream block to your Moodle home page. Turn editing on, look at the bottom of the left column to add a block.)<\/p>\n

\"Activity<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Popup notification<\/h3>\n

This notification appears on the bottom of your screen.<\/p>\n

\"Message<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Email<\/h3>\n

An email will be sent to your Elon email address. You have the option to have the email sent to an alternative address.<\/p>\n

\"Email\"<\/a><\/p>\n

4. Alert badge notification<\/h3>\n

This notification appears at the top of the screen, next to your name. Please note: changing your course design could hide the alert badge notification.<\/p>\n
