Note on Posting Options:

By default, students receive an email notification in the form of a digest every 2 hours. The digest contains details on all of the site’s posts made within that two hour period.  If no posts are made, no digest email is sent.

However, students have the ability in their account settings to receive no emails, or a daily digest or real time emails.

This posting option, if checked, will send an email immediately to each student regardless of their account settings.
