What students are told, and when
When something happens to a student’s work they are told twice: on their own page, and by email. Both are once per thing rather than once per press.
What counts as something to be told about
Being put on a module, a task set for them, a comment from staff, and work sent back with a reason. Nothing else, and nothing about other people.
Three comments on a task they have not opened are one line and one email, not three: the notice counts rather than repeats.
The email is optional and the panel is not
A student can turn the email off from the panel itself and lose nothing, because the panel is the record and the email is the reminder.
Questions people ask
- Do teachers get emails about everything students do?
- No. Nothing emails staff about ordinary activity, on purpose: a mailbox full of your own class’s saves is one you stop reading.
- When does a notice go away?
- When the student opens what it points at.
