Email: Send email through D2L

Send email through Brightspace

If your instructor creates a group with the entire class enrolled as members, you may be able to email your entire class (this is up to your instructor). You can’t email individual students from the classlist directly.

A few things to be aware of with emailing in D2L:
  • The maximum attachment size is 500 kb.

  • The ‘Insert QuickLink’ tool, when composing a new email, only works with the URL option (when sending a link to an external website). It will not work if you select a link to content within your D2L course.

  • Recipients of your email will see your email address.

  • There is no Sent box. To receive a copy of an email you send within D2L, click your name in top right of the minibar > Account Settings > Email and ensure the Send a copy of each outgoing message to username@torontomu.ca is checked off.

Find Groups in the top menu, under Communication.
