Sending Email in Desire2Learn

Students receive email through Emarq. Desire2Learn offers two options for addressing email to course participants: typing the full address or selecting a name from your address book. For those with information saved as a file, it can be sent as an attachment with the email message. Priority is used when the sender wants to indicate level of importance to the recipient.
