Get Your Discussion Forum Subscriptions in Daily Digest Format

October 08, 2014 | 1 Minute Read

You can subscribe to any of the categories or topics in a course Discussion Forum so that all messages posted in that category or topic are immediately sent to you via email. We've been asked if there was a way to compile all those messages into a daily message. This makes things more manageable if your course Discussion Forum has lots of activity. Rather than getting 30 individual messages, you would get one email message containing all 30 posts.

You can now do this in the CoursePlus Discussion Forum!

To subscribe to a daily digest of messages rather than receive immediate delivery of messages, go to "Discussion Forum Options," look under the "Subscription Delivery Options" header, and select the "Send a digest email of posts added to categories and topics once per day." option.

Please note that this preference does not carry over from one course Discussion Forum to another. If you are taking multiple classes and want to have Discussion Forum posts sent in daily digest format in all your classes, you will have to set this option (one time!) in each of your class Discussion Forums.
