Notifications: These are the email notifications you receive for updates in a course. They are different from the alerts in Brightspace itself (which are shown with an orange dot in the minibar). You can turn on or off email notifications for specific courses and course components.
Please note that settings under Notifications apply to all courses you are enrolled in.
Instructors will communicate the most important announcements regarding their course via Announcements. We recommend that students set up email notifications to receive updates on modified or newly created Announcements.
Click on your name at the top of the minibar and then click on Notifications.
- Here you will see the Pulse App, which is the Brightspace app that allows you to receive notifications, etc., via the app and not just in your email inbox.
- Under Contact Methods, you will find the email address where you will receive your notifications. Brightspace automatically uses your @st.hanze.nl email address, as this is linked to your Brightspace account. This cannot be changed.
- Under Summary of Activity, you can choose whether you want to receive a daily (Daily) or weekly (Weekly) summary of notifications from all courses. If you do, you can set a time for when you will receive the summary. If you do not set a time, you will automatically receive the email at 12:00 AM.
Check under Instant Notifications which activities you want to receive notifications for. This applies to all courses unless you exclude some courses under Exclude Some Courses.
- Check under Customise Notifications whether you want to receive grades notifications and if you want to receive notifications from future courses.
- Under Exclude Some Courses, select the courses you don't want to receive notifications from. Click on Manage course exclusions, search for the relevant course using the Search course name bar, and click the "X" next to the course name(s) from which you don't want to receive notifications. Click on Exclude All Courses to stop receiving notifications from any course (this is useful if you have many courses and only want notifications from a few). If you previously turned off notifications for a course and now want to turn them back on, search for the course name and click the restart notifications icon. Click on Restore excluded courses to reactivate notifications for all courses.
- Click on Save to save your settings.
