Message Students Who

This week is brought to you by the letter M!   

Communicating with individual students who need extra encouragement and reminders is easy with the option. You can use this option to nudge students for a variety of reasons. You do not need to figure out who fits the criteria -- Abracadabra, Canvas does all that work for you.

Here is a list of the criteria: 

  • Haven't submitted yet 
  • Haven't been graded 
  • Scored less than 
  • Scored more than  
  • Marked Incomplete 
  • Reassigned 

The best part is, it appears to the student that you are communicating with them individually. This individualized touch helps with that feeling of belonging and in return helps with retention. 

This option can be found in the Gradebook column title of the assignment, discussion, or quiz you are working on.
