Inbox and announcement should also sent email to students
The new netacad inbox did not sent email to each student like the before (canvas) so the students did not get notification.
The inbox icon on the left sidebar also stays the same even we have unread message, no notification at all.
We sent message because we want student to get notified, but the new platform do not have the right method to do that. even the announcement feature did not announce on the front page, it's hidden inside forum button. Please fix it.
Thank you for the suggestion. We implemented changes to the messaging system in November and December of 2020. Students will now receive a notification email to let them know you have sent them a message. In addition, there is a notification icon added to the message icon in the course.
