Sending email is a common way for both instructor and students to communicate with each other in an online course. Instructors often send email motes containing updated course information and important announcements.
Students can also use email to send questions to their instructors if they need clarity on course concepts or online assignments.
Next is an example of how to use the send email function within Blackboard to send your instructor an email.
Log on to http://my.asu.edu and click on
