Notification Settings

[cjacob]

Is there a way for instructors to disable course notifications that students receive for things that we change in the course, like files for example?

I was recently updating and deleting some files in my course and a student received quite a few notifications about this. I'm sure more students were receiving the same notifications as well.

Hello there, @cjacob ...

Notifications are controlled by the individual user.  Therefore, it is not possible for you to control what notifications students may/may not receive.  All users can decide what they what to be notified about and what things they don't want to be notified about.  Users (students/instructors/admins, etc.) can configure their notifications at both the account level (via "Account" >> "Notifications") and at the course level.

• How do I manage notifications for a single course as a student?

I hope this will be of some help to you.  Let Community members know if you have any other questions about this...thanks!
