Compose Message
- In the Courses drop-down menu, select the course where you want to send your message.
- Add your recipient in the To field. You can type the recipient’s name in the To field, or you can use the Course Roster. When you start typing an individual’s name in the To field, Canvas will automatically populate matching names. If multiple names appear, use the arrow key to select the individual you want to message. Then press Enter. The individual’s name will appear in the To field, highlighted in light blue.
- In the subject line field, enter a subject line for your message.
- If you are sending your message to multiple recipients, but you do not want each student to see who else was included in the message, click the Send individual messages checkbox.
- In the message field, type your message. All content is sent in plain text. Note that if you include a URL in your message, the URL will automatically become a clickable link after you send the message.
- If you want to include an attachment or media file, click the attachment or media file icons.
- When you are finished, click the Send button.
