When a conversation is started by a student, a message bar will be displayed with the number of messages.
Click the arrow_drop_down-icon and choose Review conversations.
Click Conversation in the menu at the top.
Fill in your reaction and:
- Save as draft: This function will allow you to save the response as draft (like a concept e-mail) so the response can be altered after reading and responding to all questions so all students will be treated equally. All draft messages can be sent later on in one click all together. This will be shown in point 7 of this article.
- Send: This function will send the response directly to the student. The message cannot be altered later on.
After sending a reply to a message, the conversation will be closed automatically. A conversation can also be closed without responding to the message by clicking Close. Closing a conversation means that both the student as the instructor (you) cannot send messages anymore. A closed conversation can be opened again by the instructor.
