Your inbox is the best way to communicate with your lecturers or for other students individually. This has the same function as a normal email but everything happens within Canvas.
You can access your inbox by clicking on the Inbox icon in the left-hand menu.
The Inbox is split into two panels and displays messages chronologically.
1. You can view and reply to conversations and sort them by course or inbox type.
2. You can write a message to your lecturer or fellow student by clicking on the pencil icon.
When you create a new message, you must first select the module which the lecturer or student belongs to. To do so
Click the All courses dropdown list, and hover over Favourite courses. You can select the course from the list that appears or type text into the search area for favourite courses.
In the To field, you can click on the contact icon on the right side.
From here, you can select if you want to contact teachers, students or groups from this module
From here, you can add:
1. A subject title
2. The message you want to send
3. On the bottom right corner, you can attach a file to your message and/ or record audio or video comment directly into your computer to be included in your message. When you press the record audio/video option you can record audio or video into Canvas or upload an existing media file.
Review your message and then Send
