Q - As an Instructor, how can I send e-mails to the students in their courses without having to go through Banner or Blackboard?
A - ITS (Information Technology Services) has developed a way for instructors to easily e-mail students in their courses. You will not have to go through Banner or Blackboard or develop your own e-mail distribution lists. As of Monday, February 8th, all active classes in Banner now have a corresponding e-mail distribution list made up of all active members in the course.
How do you use the lists to reach your students? Simply compose an e-mail to CRN.termcode@pace.edu, where CRN is the course registration number and termcode is the 6 digit term code for the semester. So for example, if you are an instructor in course CRN 12345 in termcode 201020 (Spring 2010), you would send an e-mail to 12345.201020@pace.edu. If you opted to combine course sections, your CRN number will be the combined CRN as it appears in Blackboard. Your distribution list address will be in the format CRN-CRN.termcode, i.e.: 12345-67890.201020@pace.edu. Note: The lists will be available 3 weeks prior to the start of the semester and 6 weeks after the semester ends and will be updated hourly to reflect changes in course registrations. The ability to send e-mail to the distribution lists will only be available to course instructors and the e-mails will be delivered to both students and instructors in the course. To use this mechanism Instructors are required to use their Pace e-mail address by using Outlook, Outlook Web Access, or an authenticated SMTP. |
