Stay Connected. Stay Informed.
- Learn where to find and configure your notification settings
- Understand the difference between instant, daily, and weekly notifications
- Set up recommended notification preferences for this course
- Ensure you don't miss important announcements, circles, or feedback
Notifications help you stay up to date with what's happening in your course — including announcements, new content, and updates from your facilitator. You can choose what notifications you receive and how often.
Where to Find Notifications
Follow these three steps to access your notification settings:
- Go to your Profile Settings in the LMS
- Open the Notifications tab
- Review each category and choose how you'd like to be notified:
- ✓ (Tick) = instant email or phone notification
- 🕒 (Clock) = daily summary
- 📅 (Calendar) = weekly summary
- ✗ (Cross) = no notifications
Tip: If you add your phone number in your profile, you'll receive notifications both by email and text.
