Canvas
Faculty can email their entire class as long as the term is active and the course is published. Faculty can open their class as early as needed using the instructions Extend Term Dates in Canvas (Related Article).
There are three Classlist options within the Canvas learning management system for faculty:
- Download the class roster for use in Excel.
- View all students and groups in a Canvas course.
- Use the Canvas message tool, which will send a copy of a message to the recipient's WPI email as well as any replies to the instructor's email in addition to storing the message Canvas Conversations.
