Announcements
in the Hub are linked to QMU email. If you create an announcement in a module
in the Hub, anyone on the module (students, teaching assistants, tutors) will
automatically receive:
·
An
email notification;
·
An
update when they log into the Hub on the Announcements area on the My Hub Page;
·
An
update when they log into your module in the Hub in student notifications.
If you have
added a link to the announcements tool on the left-hand side menu in your
module, students will also be able to see announcements there.
When creating
an announcement, you are provided with an option:
Send a copy of this
announcement immediately
This means
that everyone on the module in the Hub (tutors, teaching assistants and
students) will immediately receive an email of the announcement. This will
over-ride all settings that users have made, for example, a daily digest of
emails from the Hub.
It is
recommended that the option to send an email immediately is used only in
particularly urgent cases, for example, a cancelled class. It this feature is
used continuously, it will have less impact and may annoy staff and students
who have changed their settings to avoid receiving a considerable amount of
individual emails.
Further
information, please contact hub@qmu.ac.uk.
