Messages within Blackboard Ultra are a powerful way to communicate with students. Messages are initiated from within Blackboard either on the institutional home page or from within a course. When a message is sent, the recipient will get a notification within Blackboard, and notifications can also be emailed.
Our university’s default setting allows for student’s to message the instructor and their group members, but it does not allow them to message the class as a whole. The instructor can change that setting, however.
To change this setting:
- Log in to Blackboard and choose the course you want to make the changes for.
- Click Course Settings in the upper right-hand corner of your screen.
- Scroll down to the Course Tools section and make your desired change.
