Introduction
If enabled by the instructor, the group messaging feature in AsULearn allows group members to communicate in a group chat using the AsULearn messaging feature. Group messaging can be enabled when you create a group or groups in your course. You can also enable group messaging in the settings of groups that have already been created.
The support article Creating and Managing Groups includes steps for enabling group messaging when creating new groups. This article includes steps for enabling group messaging in groups that already exist.
An overview of groups is available in another article: Groups in AsULearn
Leveraging AsULearn's mobile app
This messaging feature can be particularly useful when used with the AsULearn Mobile App .
Enabling Group Messaging in an existing group
1. In the settings bar at the top of your course homepage, click Participants.
2. In the Enrolled users dropdown menu at the top left, select Groups:
3. Select a group in the Groups column, then click the Edit group settings button below it.
4. Set Group messaging to Yes.
5. Click the Save changes button at the bottom of the page.
Group messaging is only a feature for members of the group. If Group Messaging is enabled, users will see which groups they belong to in the messaging drawer. Teachers do NOT see the function to send a message to a group in a course unless they are a member of that group.
