QuickMail is one of several communication tools in Moodle; it can be added to your course from the blocks menu.
Using QuickMail, your
messages are sent from Moodle to student Gmail accounts here at Sauk. Since the recent update, QuickMail messages
can be configured to show the Course Name in the subject line of the email you
received. Faculty who want to see all
email messages in one place could create a label for each class and create a
filter to sort the mail for each class into the appropriate label.
Quick Mail allows users to add multiple attachments to the message, up to 10MB.
In order for students to use QuickMail to send mail to you
or to classmates, the instructor must go to the QuickMail tool settings and
choose “yes” for “allow students to use QuickMail.” In addition, the “add course shortname to
subject” setting must be enabled to insert the course name into all email sent
from a Moodle course.
