How does the OAKS email work?
OAKS email functions differently than the email we had within WebCT. When you email students within OAKS it uses their CofC Email and sends it from your CofC email. Since there is no internal email client a copy of sent email is not kept in your Sent mail folder. It is recommended that you make sure to copy yourself on all emails sent from within OAKS. If you do not like this method of email you can achieve something similar to the old WebCT email using the Discussion tool. To communicate with the class create a Topic that is public. To communicate with students privately, use the group tool to generate a private threaded discussion for each student and communicate that way. This will keep all communications within OAKS just like it did in WebCT.
