How does a teacher initiate a Push Notification? For example I want to remind those of my students who have enabled Notifications about the exam date.
Probably a related question: if I use the "Send a Message" button in the Participants area for a specific Contact, how do they receive my message? Do they get it at all if they don't have the app?
Thanks in advance.
I should have said, both paragraphs assume the teacher is using Moodle Mobile.
Hi,
the Push notification (that will be in core for 2.7, in 2.6 is a contributed plugin) system is connected to the messages/notification system in Moodle.
A user can configure his messaging preferences in Settings -> Messaging, there he can select which type of notifications wants to receive and how (email, jabber, popup, jabber)
So, if you send a private message, the user will only receive it if:
- You have the mobile notifications plugin enabled and configured
- He have the app installed
- He have configured his preferences in Moodle for receiving notifications
Regards
