Hi @YvanTorres ...
I'll just add to the excellent information you received from @Ron_Bowman. Please keep in mind that Canvas does not have e-mail. Rather, the Cavnas Inbox is an internal messaging system to connect with others who are enrolled in the same courses that you are. It is different than e-mail because you cannot send messages to your friends and family from the Canvas Inbox because they are, most likely, not enrolled in the courses that you are. Similarly, you cannot receive messages from your friends and family inside the Canvas Inbox. All these kinds of communications would need to be done outside of Canvas using whatever e-mail software you have on your smart phone or computer.
All this being said, you can configure your Canvas account to get notified via e-mail when someone messages you via the Canvas Inbox. This is all done via the "Account" >> "Notifications" screen in Canvas. And, if you want, you can add additional e-mail addresses to your account so you can get notifications to those e-mail addresses, too. You can add additional e-mail addresses on the "Account" >> "Settings" screen. Once you do that, go back to your "Notifications" screen, and you'll see additional columns for each of the e-mail addresses you added from your "Settings" screen, and you can configure the frequency of those notifications there.
I hope this additional information helps to clear things up for you. Let Community members know if you have any other questions about this...thanks!
Hi, I can't get this working right. I've created outcomes where the calculation method is to meet mastery twice. I've aligned them to several assignments. The grade book displays mastery as met when it's only been achieved on one of the assignments. It's not showing positive or negative for the other assignments. (I've…
Yesterday, after much trial and error…I concluded the new quizzes matching choice options do not work as I expected, and have used with other LMS. I thought that I could provide students a matching choice quiz with multiple attempts that would report incorrectly answered matches on the first attempt, and display the…
I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
