Group Email

Refer to ticket #52

Requirements

The instructor (or admin) should be able to send a group email

A group can be:

  • Students registered in a course
  • Group members in a group
  • Each student

Optional:

  • User can use and edit his/her own email template
  • Email merge system, so template has fields for variables
  • Ownership such as private, public, or shared among some group

Implementation

Layout

Email button will be placed on:

  • Course Home page for emailing to all students registered in a course
  • Group View page for emailing to group members in a group
  • Next to each student name on Group View page for emailing to a student

Table

  • Ownership field could be tinyint(1)

Alternative Plan

--- this could be an option, as well as offering sending email system ---

iPeer's sending email function may lack some features such as draft, text-formatting, or attachment.

Allowing a user to see and copy group email addresses would be a good alternative solution.

For example:

  • Click "Get email list"
  • Pop-up window shows email addresses of group (e.g. abc@…; def@… ...
  • Click "Copy" from the window and get email addresses.
  • Use email client that user prefers
