Q: Is it possible to send email to multiple classes at the same time?
Yes, if you want to send an email to members of your class, one of the best ways to get this done is to use Qwickly Course Tools. You can find Qwickly course tools by clicking on Tools on your Blackboard home page:
Once in Qwickly’s email screen, you’ll notice that you can select more than one course – essentially sending the same message to 2 or more courses. You can also choose to have Qwickly send you a copy of your email, decide who in your course gets the email, and even attach files:
Try Qwickly Course Tools’ email the next time you want to notify your students.
