Introduction

The Moodle Quickmail block is a block that appears on the right side of your course and allows you to send email to participants or instructors in your course. Quickmail sends email but does not receive email. Quickmail sends email to users' RRU email addresses. Email that you send through Quickmail can be responded to as long as you haven't set 'Hide my email address from everyone' in your Moodle preferences (the default is 'Only allow other course members to see my email address', so if you haven't changed this then replies to your emails will work).

How to add the Quickmail block to your course

If you're an instructor, the Quickmail block has not yet been added to your course, and you'd like to add the Quickmail block to your course, here's how.

• Turning editing on: Navigate to the main course page, click the gear in the top right corner, and click Turn editing on.
  
  
  
• With editing turned on, click on Add a block at the bottom of the nav drawer on the left side of the screen.
  
  
  
• From the list of available blocks that appears, click on Quickmail. (note that blocks already in use will not appear here, so if you don't see the Quickmail block then perhaps it's already in the course)
  
  
  
• The Quickmail block will be visible on the right-side of the main course page. You can move the Quickmail block up or down by dragging on the four-arrow button shown below (editing must be turned on). After dragging the block to where you want it, reload the page to ensure that it stays there. If after reloading the block is not where you want it again, try dragging the other blocks into place and reload again.
