Finding Notifications
Have you received a notification, but now can't find it? If you receive a new notification and this pops up on your mobile/tablet screen, this is where you can find them in your course:
- A classmate's new post to your class – in the 'My Class' section
- A new reply to your post or comment – In your 'Inbox' or on the post in your 'My Class' section
- A new message in your 'Class Discussion' group chat or private message – In your 'Inbox' or in your 'My Class' section
