How to answer your students

Watch the video1:14

Two tabs of the course editor are about people rather than content: Questions collects what students ask you, and Students tells you who is enrolled and how far they have got.

Answer a question

1. Open the course from Courses → Course Management.
2. Go to the Questions tab.
3. Filter by Pending to see only what is outstanding.
4. Click Reply on the question.
5. Write your answer.
6. Click Send reply.

The question moves from Pending to Answered, and the filter’s number drops.

The tab shows the number of unanswered questions on its own label, so you can tell whether there is work waiting without opening it.

1. Go to the Students tab.
2. Search by name if the list is long.

Each row carries the student, the Enrollment date, their Progress and their Last activity. It is a read-only list: it fills when somebody enrolls, not by hand.
