Notifications

• Notifications alert instructors, students and other users about events in LMS such as new forum posts, assignments needing grading or badges awarded.
• New notifications are highlighted with a red dot on the profile picture in the upper right corner of the LMS:

Clicking there displays any new notifications, either in the Notification tab or the messages tab

Clicking ‘View full notification’ displays the notification in a full list, whereas clicking the main body of the notification will take you to the location in LMS that the event happened, as in this example, to the assignment grading screen.

Receiving notifications

• Along with a visible alert to new events in the notifications menu, users can configure how they are notified of new events from their notification preferences page accessed from the user menu or from the gear icon in the notifications menu.
• Notifications may be sent via the web (when logged in to LMS), email and mobile (for LMS Mobile-enabled sites).
• Web offline options are for setting whether a user is notified when they next log in to LMS.

• Site notifications for administrators
