To change your notification settings, access your account notifications. From here you can customize email notifications regarding certain updates in your course.
Steps to Change your Notification Settings
-
Select your name in the right corner of your screen and select Notifications in the box that pops up below.
-
By default, the box for receiving emails for Announcements will be selected. Personalize your notifications by determining which areas of your Brightspace courses you wish to receive email notifications for.
-
The first section will be your contact information with your @purdue.edu email. Note: As Brightspace is a Purdue University system you cannot change your email address to @pnw.edu.
-
The second section of the notification page is Summary of Activity. From here you can set Brightspace to send you a summary of the activity in each of your courses. You can set it for weekly or monthly reports but it will automatically be set to Never.
-
The third section is Instant Notifications. From here you can choose what notifications you want to receive. These notifications are in regards to topics like: Activity feed, Announcements, Assignments, Content, Discussions, Grades, and Quizzes.
-
The last two sections on the page are Customize Notifications and Exclude Some Courses. The option to Customize Notifications allows for two things:
- 1. To send your grade value in notifications regarding your grades and
- 2. To allow future courses to send you notifications.
Exclude Some Courses allows you to select a course that you no longer want to receive notifications from.
-
Select "Save" to save your selections.
