With DigitalChalk’s new notifications feature organizations are enabled to easily send hundreds of different types of notification emails to users.
When creating a notification you will notice that there are 5 different tabs to choose from. Today we are going to discuss the first tab, which is the “Event” tab. You will see that there are 5 general different types of notification options related to:
-
-
- Registration
- Course completion
- Course content published
- Assignments awaiting grade
- Comments
-
Registration notifications…
These types of notifications allow you, and/or the users, to receive a more detailed email notification letting them know that they have successfully been registered for a course. The email notification options for registrations are:
-
-
-
-
- Any offering registered
- Manual registration
- Specific offering registered
-
-
-
Course completion notifications…
Your organization may require that certain elements are completed at a certain time, and with this you may need to be notified that a student has completed within that time frame. These options are great to confirm that your students are completing the course elements in the appropriate time.

Course content published notifications…
Also, if you have a course that you will be adding content to as the course progresses, you can send an email to students notifying them that there is new content in the course – this helps to eliminate any surprises when they log in and see new content.
