The updated Messages tool allows you to communicate with students via email. Messages retain a copy of the conversations in Ultra Course View and include the option to send the contents to students via email. To access Messages, select the envelope icon in the upper-right corner of the course, or use the Messages link on the left-hand menu on the Institution Page. Additional capabilities are planned for sending messages based on course activity, course role, or group membership.
