Canvas @ Tufts

For information about other teaching & learning tools see the Educational Technology User Guides.

How do I email my class using the Canvas Course Emailer tool?

The Course Emailer allows instructors and TAs to email a class (or a group of classes) via their Tufts Outlook email server.

The Course Emailer tool assigns an email address for a course that can be used the same as any other Tufts email address. Note: This email bypasses any Canvas Notifications settings set by either the student or the instructor.

The Course Emailer tool may be hidden by default on your Canvas course site. To unhide the Course Emailer tool see:

How do I unhide the Canvas Course Emailer tool?

Please Note: if you email more than one course at a time, you will receive a copy of the same email for each course you emailed. If you want to avoid this you can set up an email filter to automatically delete the duplicates.
