You can then write in the subject e.g. Feedback: Unit 1 Writing
Tutorial 1 Then you can either include your feedback in the message
box or as an attachment. Note that you can only use plain text in
the message box so in most cases it will probably be better to send
feedback as an attachment in a word document.

Then, when the message is ready to send, click on “Send”. To
mail more than one student at a time, you need to select the
relevant students by clicking on the boxes at the side of the names
of the students. Next click on “Send to all selected” at the top of
the list. This will open a mail message to all of these students.
If you want to mail ALL of your students in a group or level, tick
the corresponding group or level.
You can display the list of students in two ways, either by
course or by the group they belong to, e.g. a company or
department. Select your choice at the top, under “View unread
mail”.
You will know if a student sends you a mail or tutorial because
a number will appear next to the level folder. When you open up the
level folder, the number will appear next to the student’s name.
Every night the mail programme will check for any unread mails from
that day and send out a message to the students’ external email
email informing them that they have unread messages.
