Blackboard’s Send Email tool is an easy and the most direct way to keep in touch with your students. Compose your email in Blackboard, then send it to one, some, or all of your students. Unlike Messages, which can only be read within
Blackboard, Email is sent to the e-mail address your students have on file.
