As many of you know, Moodle sends an email to the students in your Moodle course when a message is posted to the “News forum.” There is now an additional way for you to send email to your class.
ITS has automated the creation of email distribution lists for all courses. All you need to do is send a message to:
SUBJnnn–TERMCODE–CRN@lawrence.edu
where SUBJ is the subject code for your course (BIOL, CHEM, etc.) nnn is the course number, and CRN is the 4-digit CRN for the course. For example: CHEM185-201250-2847@lawrence.edu
The easiest way to find the specific email address for your course is to refer to your class list in Voyager. You’ll find the address next to “Email Dis List.”
Only the instructor for the course has permission to send email to the list. The list of recipients is updated every night with your official class list, so as students add/drop, they will appear/disappear from the list.
Let the ITS Helpdesk know if you have any questions.
