please help me how to activate this option? have you any suggestion to send a private message to a particular student?
You could always use old-fashioned email
Howard, I agree. I never email all students through Moodle's email system. I always use the good old-fashioned email approach (in my case, Mac mail.) I find regular email works great.
One thing that I do, and tell students that I do, is to always start the subject link with the course number, such as MSCI3000. My Moodle also uses this course number, so when Moodle sends out forum posts, they too always have the subject start with the course number. I use this subject line to filter all my course emails into one "Courses" inbox.
Maybe I use continue to use good-old email because this is what I have been doing since around 1986. On my Mac mail, I still have archives of my educational emails (old Outboxes) back to 1994!
Thanks Mary,
Hi Abu,
The documentation for notes: https://docs.moodle.org/35/en/Notes tells you that if you want students to be able to View and Manage notes, the permissions for students has to be set.
BUT, then on how you set things up, you then make it possible for students to see stuff about other students AND they can edit and delete another users notes.
As mentioned by others, use the built in Message system, email, or maybe install the Dialogue plugin.
