Impact: Instructors, Students

During an assessment, instructors may need to communicate with students. To support this need, instructors can filter and select the students they would like to message from the Submissions page. Instructors can craft a message appropriate to the audience and circumstances.

In the past, the instructors couldn't message students for assessments that are anonymously graded. This is because instructors do not know which students had submitted.

Now we have introduced a Send Reminder  option. This allows instructors to send reminders to students who have yet to make a submission for an anonymously graded assessment.

With the "Send Reminder" button on the Submissions page for anonymously graded assessments, instructors have the chance to confirm their desire to send the reminder along with the number of students who will receive it.
