The following video, instructions, and imagery will guide you through the process of sending email in Blackboard Learn.

The Send Email tool allows students and instructors to send email to other people in the course from within Blackboard Learn. Emails can be sent to individual users or to groups of users. A copy of this email is sent to the sender by default. The emails are sent to the user’s external email address that is registered in SPIRE.

Sending Email

1. From the course menu, click Send Email.

2. On the Send Email page, click on Select Users to determine who will receive the email.

NOTE: Blackboard Learn keeps no record of sent or received emails. When you receive or send an email, the email will appear in the Inbox of your external email client. Keep a copy of important messages in case you need them at a later date.

A receipt page appears after the message is sent listing all recipients. The receipt page does not confirm that users received the message. It only confirms that the message was sent.
