Notifying Users when updates to their curriculum happen is critical to creating the best user experience possible. When assigning a course via a Course Assignment, a Notification can be triggered to make sure they are aware right away.
This article outlines the following concepts:
Create the Notification
Go to Communications > click Notifications > click New
In the Alert Type field, select Course Assigned.
Give this Notification a title and description.
If this notification applies to all courses, “All Items” for Selection Type. Click “Selected Items Only” to then select specific courses in the Course Selection field.
Lower on the page, give this Notification a Subject Title for when it arrives to the users, and craft the Course Assigned Message in the Text Editor.
When configuring Subject Titles for Notifications, ensure that if an organization is referenced, it matches the domain URL. Subject Lines that do not match the brand URL have the potential to be flagged by Gmail and other email providers as fraudulent or hazardous.
For example, if the domain URL is Moyo.LMS but the subject line says “Tovuti Staff,” these mismatching “organizations” could be flagged by the mail provider and show a warning label.
Turn on Notifications
Next, go to Learning > click Course Assignments > select the Course associated with this new Notification
For the Send Notifications field toggle "Yes."
When clicking Save, Admins are shown a confirmation notice when the assignment is saved. Admins can choose to Send a notification so that users can see all the updates or, save the assignment without sending notifications.
