Blackboard Messages

Tags message

Messages are a useful way to keep in contact with your students. You and your students can send messages to each other, multiple people, or an entire class.

By going to the Messages tab on the Blackboard Navigation you can email the whole class. 

Messages inside a course

In a course, select the Messages page. The number of unread messages that you have is indicated within a red circle. All your course messages and responses are on the Messages page.

  • Send a message. Select the New Message button to send a message. Send to one person, multiple people, group, or the entire class.

  • Select how many messages per page. If you have many messages, you can increase how many messages display on one page.

  • Delete a message. Use the Delete button to delete a message. If more responses come in, you'll get them. You can't edit or delete individual responses in a message.

Send a message

Select New Message on the Messages page to open the New Message panel. Start typing to add recipients. Lead with the most important info. Messages don't have titles. Recipients need to rely on the first part of your message as they choose what to read.
