How does email work with Moodle?
There are several activities within Moodle that have an email function. It is possible to set up Forums, Glossaries and Messaging in Moodle to automatically email you to alert you to communications within these activities. As a tutor, you can force some of these options, should this be appropriate. Most sites also have the Quickmail Block (you can add this to your course via the Blocks block with editing on). This allows you to mail all students or groups of students on the course. You should never rely on email for important communications with students. There is no way to ensure that they have received and read the communication.
