About this article
This article includes an overview of the Brightspace Email Tool and links to additional articles related to sending email in Brightspace courses. It is intended for instructors.
Overivew
Brightspace includes a simple email messaging tool that allows instructors to compose and send messages to individual students, sections, groups, and the entire classlist. These messages are sent to students' WSU email addresses. Brightspace does not receive email. If students reply to messages sent from Brightspace, the reply is sent to the instructor's WSU email mailbox.
Why email students from Brightspace?
Although instructors can certainly email their students using Microsoft Outlook, our campus email system, they would need to create distribution lists manually to send messages to the entire class or to specific groups of students. Classlists and student email address are uploaded to Brightspace automatically and any groups created in Brightspace courses for other purposes (e.g., project teams) can be selected as email recipients in the Brightspace email tool. This may save instructors some time.
