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
  • Ownership such as private, public, or shared among some group
• Email merge system, so template can have fields for variables
• Allowing a user to see and copy group email addresses, so he/she can use a preferred email client

Implementation

Recipients

Selecting recipients is similar as adding instructors to a course. User can add a recipient from select box, or delete by click 'x'.

Recipients data is stored in session. (performance or security problem???)

Getting email address

"send email" button on:

1. each type of page ;email addresses for 'to' field would be students who belongs to the type of page, for example
   1. all student if sent from course homepage

2. users tab page
