Navigating the Inbox

Overview

You can reach out to individual students or groups through the Inbox in the Global Navigation Menu, located in the navy Global Navigation column at the left of every UVACanvas page. The Inbox functions independently of external email tools. Individual users have the option to send course notifications to other email clients, including campus accounts. UVACanvas does not have a method to ensure that all conversations are routed to an Outlook inbox; end-users decide whether to do this by editing notification preferences

One benefit of using the UVACanvas Inbox is that the conversations are archived within the course for you and your students to view as needed. In the following tutorial, you will learn how to view, manage, and send messages through Inbox.
