How do I contact students in a class I am teaching using the class list present on Canvas? Thanks.
Hi @SHELDONNELSON ...
You can use the Canvas Inbox to message your students. The Canvas Inbox is not the same as e-mail, though. It is a messaging tool where students can send/receive messages in the Canvas environment. However, all users in Canvas can choose to be notified via e-mail when they receive a message via the Canvas Inbox. Also, unlike standard e-mail, you cannot send/receive messages via the Canvas Inbox from friends/family, because those folks most likely are not enrolled in the course that you are enrolled in. So, how do you send messages to your students? Here are some Guides that should help:
There is also this video tutorial you can watch: Inbox Overview (All Users) - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)
I hope this will be helpful to you. Sing out if you have any questions. Thanks!

Hi everyone We recently deployed the new Microsoft LTI in Canvas and have started using the option to create Microsoft Education assignments directly from Canvas. So far, the setup has been very easy and user-friendly. Unfortunately, we've run into a problem: when we try to change the due date of an assignment after it has…
I'm testing whether Mastery Paths can be used to give students early access to an item based on their score, while making the same item available to everyone else on a later date. Here is my setup: A 4-point assignment is the source for the Mastery Path. Students scoring 75–100% are assigned a Solutions item. The Solutions…
