Theme Overview
Instructors want additional inbox functionality and settings to customize messaging among course participants.
What value could this provide to users?
- Provide functionality that is similar to what users would expect to see in email tools, such as signatures, RCE, scheduling of messages, auto-reply, and trash folder
- Update the interface to allow for easy access to common actions, such as archive and delete
- Provide additional clarity around recipients, such as showing custom section names and which student an observer is connected to
- Allow for messaging of multiple classes at one time
- Provide better default controls and actions
