Sending E-mail in Desire2Learn

Students receive e-mail through eMarq. Desire2Learn offers two options for addressing e-mail 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 e-mail message. Priority is used when the sender wants to indicate level of importance to the recipient.
